You know considering our different backgrounds it is scary how much we agree with each other!

Also they engage in monopolies and almost never price there products properly to really take account of there impact.

The very financial system itself which benefits from much of our common goods also seeks to dismantle them for our own use.
By bosses do you mean the top dogs (actual owners and their surrounding cabal), or more the lower-level bosses?

Certainly, I've heard a couple of different takes on the lower and mid-level bosses, the managerial class. Marx saw them as fairly insignificant, just an auxiliary to the bourgeoisie that existed for practical reasons. Others, like James Burnham, argue that managers have become a class unto themselves. I really must buy the Managerial Revolution to get more insight on that.
