I hate all business!

Yep! Hate it all! Our streets of the world are crowded and noisy! There's the hawking of everything.. and I'm afraid it's just all going to increase!
- Even amid this 'recession' and forebodings over the air waves, I still feel there will be more (more of everything is my prediction for 'days' ahead)... I guess this is just as well however, because as we can see, businesses failing amounts to huge numbers of job losses! Which means also, government doesn't get nearly as much taxes.. so then the workers end up paying more taxes.. I see how it could become some sort of black hole or bottomless pit! So maybe it's not business and industriousness I hate, but greed and, or corruption in business!
- Would it all work do you think, if there weren't those who took advantage, robbed, cheated, etc?

Definitely! It appears to me the big wigs live high off the hog no matter what, with huge perks, and then they retire sometimes with millions!

Oh yes, everything would be much better if there was no greed and corruption...and simple trust. Back in the days of pioneers, trust was the basis for business. Without trust there was no business.
Now, it's POSSIBLE that due to the changes this economy will bring might bring back the need for trust and cut down on the greed and corruption...and then in turn, crime, but I don't expect to see it commonplace within this year.
In a while, perhaps, depending on what all happens.
In the short term I see an increase in all that you mentioned hating...and an increase in obnoxiousness, businesses lying, and a ton other side-effects that breed distrust of businesses in general.

The "survival of the fittest" mentality kicks up a notch I guess and people will try to do whatever it is they can to get through this. No matter what crisis exists in the world, from natural disasters to economic woes; there are always people that will take advantage of the hardship and exploit it. It's an extremely sad reflection on human nature. 
The street hawker scenario you mentioned is a counterproductive one on many levels too, because it mainly revolves around cash. No accountability and little chance of accurate monitoring in terms of taxes to be paid and things like that. It may help the "little people" get through these times more effectively, but the domino effect caused by this cash slipping through the system is detrimental to the overall economy regaining stability.

Look the other way and listen...what a beautiful noise...children laughing and playing, couples taking a walk, dogs playfully barking, whistling coming from , giggling little girls, babies cooing their day away or do you hear birds chirping.
