Speak Out Against Corporate Misconduct!
By Barbara Woodcox

Erick O. purchased a computer on the internet. He paid about $850 for it. When it arrived, it didn't work. He sent it back for a replacement. The replacement didn't work either, so he sent it back again. This time it was supposed to be repaired. When it came back it still didn't work. The company stopped returning Erick's phone calls and they were rude to him when he called them.

So, what did Erick do about this? Absolutely nothing!

This is why corporate America is becoming more and more dishonest. Most people are too complacent to fight back when a company does them wrong. They won't take the time to dispute with companies that have cheated them. They won't take the time to write letters to consumer protection agencies. Some people will take the time to hire an attorney, but that doesn't help anyone else.

Not enough people will take a stand against unfair business practices, such as credit card company dirty tricks, credit scoring for auto insurance, the ridiculous fees imposed on just about everything, same as cash scams, etc.

The only way consumers can stop getting ripped off by giant corporations is to join forces. Hiring attorneys to solve our own problems and not caring about issues that don't affect us at the present moment is not going to do it. We need to write letters to legislators and consumer protection agencies. We need to urge everyone we know to boycott dishonest companies. We need to circulate flyers and put up posters. We need to put up websites if we are able. We need to do everything we can think of to stop the epidemic of corporate corruption.

The rate of bankruptcy has never been higher than it is now. The rate of corporate corruption has never been higher, either. There is a direct correlation between consumer debt and corporate corruption. For more information on this, click here

My friends, we have to do something and we have to do it now! We all have to Speak Out Against Corporate Misconduct!
