When the names Carnagie, Rockefeller, and Pullman come to mind, most of us automatically think of what we saw or read in our history books: "These men were kind and generous and through hard work and perseverance, any one of you could become a success story like them," right? Wrong. I am sick of these people being remembered for the two or three "good deeds" they have done. Publicity and media have exaggerated the generosity of these men, the government has spoiled these names with false lies, and people have been blind to see that these men were ruthless, sly businessmen who were motivated by your money and their struggle for power.

The decades after the Civil War rapidly changed the face of the United States. The rapid industrialization of the nation changed us from generally agrarian to the top industrial power in the world. Business tycoons thrived during this time, forging great business empires with the use of trusts and pools. Farmers moved to the cities and into the factories, living off wages and changing the face of the workforce. This rapid industrialization created wide gaps in society, and the government, which had originally taken a hands off approach to business, was forced to step in.
Over the few decades, Wells Fargo had built up a reputation detaching itself from the likes of Wall Street by putting their customers first before money. However, one cannot help but think that Wells Fargo put money before customers as their aggressive sales goals led to the opening of unauthorized accounts without customer knowledge. During this fiasco, which dates back to 2011, Wells Fargo employees had opened as many as 2 million of false accounts in real customer’s names without the proper consent. An integral part of the problem were senior executives and management staff involved. Either they overlooked this growing scandal by turning a blind eye, or partook in it themselves, but both ways there is responsibility to be claimed, and guilt to be measured here.

Formed contracts usually consist exclusion or exemption clauses limiting the liability of party/parties for contractual breach.
