    The pharmaceutical companies.  They price-gouge the people who need their medicines the most.

    There was a "60 Minutes" segment on just that. A two-piece syringe kit for people who had deadly allergies had sold for around $500  bucks. When it was taken over by a different CEO they raised it to $4000!  I wonder how many others d that kinda thing?  Thank you for your  reply L! :)

    I saw that segment.  They updated it to show that the price was very seriously reduced, but it's still a lot of money.

    I remember an Exxon exec who was given over $400,000,000 as a retirement bonus. They say he well deserved it since they made so much $ under his wing. Well, that's free enterprise.
