History shows that this may not be a sustainable situation.
Sometimes the willingness to share a little can gain all a lot.

There is opportunity out here - my companies and I are proof. But the cards are stacked against us on every level.
I don't even want them to share, I just want them to play by the same rules I have to play by. There are pages and pages of reports of big companies getting grants and tax breaks that aren't available to us little guys. USA Today had a big story of the tax iniquity just in my state. Proctor and Gamble got a $250000 grant - partially paid for with MY tax money - to repave their parking lot. When the big guys don't pay their share, the little guys have to take up the slack. It makes a mockery of the old American dream that you can get ahead by working hard and playing by the rules when the rules don't apply to the wealthy.
