Which came first? The producer or the consumer?

In other words, the salesman or the buyer?

I have thought about this question too many times when blaming this or that on the economy.

So what do ya'll think?

Is it the consumer's fault for buying and giving their souls to the banks and corporations?

Or is it corporate greed and its attempt to control the people for more profit?

Both. Corporate greed and the masses wanting to have things they can't really afford. Greed on both sides. Stupidity on the consumer end.
