speech: Modern capitalism is dead, companies are too focused on shareholder returns and sometimes higher taxes are necessary. It's quite a shift for a former Republican turned independent.But Benioff insists that he hasn't really changed. Rather, he's simply trying to spread the same values that he instilled in Salesforce two decades ago — and the ones that have worked both for the company and communities where it operates.

When you look beyond shareholders, "Your customer's not a product, they're a stakeholder," Benioff said. "Your employee's not a cog in your wheel, they're a stakeholder. And kids aren't people you're driving by on your way to work, they're a stakeholder. And homeless aren't people you're walking by, they're your stakeholders."

"I didn't just become a CEO last year, I've ridden through a few recessions, I've been through economic downturns, I've had tough moments," he said.

Benioff is a hypocrite. One of the biggest out there. Capitalism is not dead. Socialist vermin are playing with fire.

Wrong. Leftists are a-holes....Go fix the homeless and other probs in Lefty States.

Capitalism is not dead, just bastardized to the point where it's hard to see.
