Social Responsibilty

In this so called Republic of a country, we find that capitalistic principles still rule over our country. How can a country that claims to care for the middle class, the little guy, the majority American constantly hypocritically support big business. I say the blame falls on all parties involved. The companies that take advantage of the people, the system that doesn't do anything about it, as well as the people who willing fall in to these traps all hold some accountability for these things continuing to go on. As much as I'd love to put the blame on these money hungry companies', it's hard to put all the blame on them when the customers had an opportunity to read the contract. As much as I'd like to blame the people on agreeing to the contract, the government allowed things like taking advantage of such people legal. So, because all parties were in a legal agreement with each other they are all responsible for allowing things like this to happen. I believe, since the government would never jeopardize their own interest in big business, it is the peoples responsibility in a "democratic society" to enforce change in an unjust system as the one implemented in said document. To ask a big business to have some kind of moral upheaval even in my optimistic mind-state is highly unrealistic. But that doesn't give them the right to take advantage of people who are in situations where the people are in desperate need of the company's product/service, nor should the company give away to people that they are very aware that are incapable of paying them back. It's things like the greed showed in this article that explains why this country had to suffer the recession it faced in 2008 that we are still suffering from today. The sad part about it is that if we lose our money, the government won't do a thing. But, if the big business lose their money then we give it out like it's free candy. All parties involved are responsible, but the government is supposed to be the regulator of these kinds of things, and their negligence proved to serve the most painful blow.
