    I work for Merck, and we value life and saving the lives of those who cannot help themselves.

    Instead, people like this spend MILLIONS on flying and other assorted games. I'm not saying that we all should be doctors or research or whatever, but shouldn't people use their time and money in ways that are better for ALL OF MANKIND?

    I know that it's capitalism, and people make what they deserve and should be able to spend it on what they want, but couldn't like a measly amount (10%) of their savings and time be spent on helping others?

    It's CHRISTMAS for Christ's sake!
