I'm a retired salesman

The fundamental issue is we allegedly work under a capitalistic system and everyone wants to make money. Everyone who spends their money doesn't want to spend more than they think is fair. Somewhere is a middle ground, that if honest negotiations take place, will be found and end in mutual benefits for both buyer and seller. The problem in America presently is that everyone has been convinced that "I'm going to get mine" and everyone else can go to blazes. I have witnessed people who I worked with for years ready and willing to "stab co-workers in the back" in order to achieve success. It does seem if we could all subscribe to it that honesty is the best policy.
