    No outrage, just facts, which you right-wingers deny reflexively and in totality.

    WSJ knows its readership. It's entirely possible they find chateaux, golf clubs, horses and luxury apartments more captivating than stories about community/employee owned businesses.

    Of course, the 1% media, all corporate media, caters to the 1%ers and the corps that keep them afloat with ads.

    $100Bs of GDP from employee-owned "socialism" businesses, and almost total silence about.

    there is some noise:

    Why We Need More Employee-Owned Businesses


    http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/...ned-businesses


    There's even a website and organization:

    The average North American, and decision makers in the U.S., plus the media, do not realize how much employee stock ownership there is in the U.S.

    Our Employee Ownership Foundation helps pay for a massive survey every four years conducted by the University of Chicago that has questions about employee ownership.

    The latest data indicates that approximately 30% of the U.S. private sector work force have some kind of stock ownership in the models I mentioned above.

    The same survey shows that another 15% to 20% share in some kind of cash profit sharing plan, or what one would call in Europe, financial participation, and what some in the U.S. call "shared capitalism".

    When was the last time EOB was helped or mentioned by the Exec or Congress?

    what outrage?

    just an observation confirming that only for-profit, mega-corps and the media own and control through advertizing and the media (if they don't like the story, it doesn't get hyped), as part of their owning and operating the country for their own self-aggrandizement and enrichment.
