“We preach free enterprise capitalism. We believe in it, we give our lives in war for it, but the closest most of us come to profiting from it are a few miserable shares of stock in a company that doesn't pay large enough dividends to keep a small mouse in cheese. The truth is, most of us are job serfs. At a time when invested capital returns 20 to 30 percent, we have no capital. We only have our wages and salaries, and a debt so high that something like 20c on every dollar we earn is spent to pay off what we owe.” GivingBelieveWarEnoughWisdomJobsPoliticsPayCompanyEconomyOur LivesShareReturnTruth IsPercentCapitalismDollarsDebtMiserableLiberalismEnterpriseClosestCheeseMiceWagesSalaryDividendsFree EnterpriseSerfs Book:Left at the post Source: Left at the post

“I don't think women can have it all. I just don't think so...My husband and I have been married for 34 years, and we have two daughters. And every day you have to make a decision about whether you are going to be a wife or a mother. In fact, many times during the day you have to make those decisions...We co-opted our families to help us. We plan our lives meticulously so we can be decent parents. But if you ask our daughters, I'm not sure they will say that I've been a good mom.” IfsThinkingYearsHas BeensTwoFactsHelpingWisdomRealityMotherAsksParentCommunityLeadershipWorkDecisionFamilyOur LivesWifePlansGenerationsHuman NatureMomHusbandMarriedDaughterUnityIdeologyOur FamilyNot SureDecentMy HusbandOur DaughterTwo DaughtersGood Mom Author:Indra Nooyi
