Use those valuable research skills you have to discover how many companies, organizations, governments, charities and churches are run by liberal arts majors.

It's understandable that you can't follow directions. Let's totally disregard the leadership of the largest companies in the US.

yeah, those are Sales and relationship management type bullshite professionals...."trust me, trust me, you give your money to me and I will double it in a year" (see Bernie Madoff-a Bachelor of Arts in political science Hofstra)

they play the "politics" and the schmooze game...the research analysts who do all the real work aren't in the habit of lying.

So yeah, I guess Liberal Arts "Creativity" is beneficial....in the idea that they have no morals.

It's quite clear you have no idea how capital is formed in our economy and I won't even have that argument. This is the kind of thinking that has lead to Occupy Wall Street and Tea Party Main Street v Wall Street etc. It's quite sad that we have such thinking in our country today.

I bet you'd be the first guy with a sign and a Gadsden Flag if Obama decided to take an extra 10% of your income to redistribute to poor people because it fit his "morals". But I can play that game: "Don't worry fracking is safe" as they poison the water and give tons of people cancer.

I recommend you read "The Fountainhead"
