I would be willing to bet there are those of you who are going to hang a "Liberal" tag on me now, but you would be wrong. Having the opinion there is a little more to business than the bottom line does not make one a "Liberal" |

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. |

In our case, we give from the corporation and after-tax, from our incomes. I certainly didn't form a corporation with that as a stated intention, although I am glad we can. |

I understand why some people think businesses exist to benefit the community, that they are some sort of a social enterprise. Those people also think unicorns are really nifty and weep at double rainbows.

How is that assumption even remotely valid? As was said... my household is not a business. I have no shareholders, no investors, and no employees. You are trying to make parallels where there are none. Even if you were to make the ridiculous leap... my household would fall into the privately owned category, in which case I will now post for the 3rd time: Quote:
I have a feeling that you might choose to invest your money elsewhere. You know... somewhere that gives you a return on investment other than flowers in another state. |

You don't have a dog in this fight since your ability to debate constructively is far beyond your capability. As I stated in an earlier thread, you're a one trick pony, and your trick is "Obama Sucks"
Try to contribute to this thread WITHOUT the rhetoric. Lets see if you have the chops. |
