Fair enough answer.

Let me attempt to explain how I make the link. MY household is a profit making entity also. I need money to pay my mortgage, make my truck payment, buy guitars, motorcycles, cameras, breed dogs, and enjoy life. WITHOUT profit from my employer, I would not be able to do these things. My shareholders are myself, and my wife and her daughter.

IF ALL I WORRIED ABOUT WAS MY BOTTOM LINE, I would have no guitars, cameras, dogs, because all these endeavors affect MY bottom line.

I just feel everyone should be a little civic minded. From corporations right down to the individual. $$$ is certainly important, but not EVERYTHING.

And to reiterate, the government should not FORCE corporations to donate or organize civic events. They should stay out of it.

But the argument that "The bottom line is ALL THAT MATTERS" is short sighted.
