Jim, Name one company that didn't go into business for the sole intention of
making profit.

You are absolutely correct sir. This is why it happens.

Now there are some companies who decide that they had better
invest their capital wisely so that the profit may continue
to stream in for many many years. While doing this they
encourage their workers to become educated by paying for
continuing education, and encourage them to be healthy by
paying for health insurance.

Contrast that to the company that simply decides they can make
a *huge* profit by simply firing all their workers (wages are
by far the largest outlay that any company makes) and then
selling off all their equipment, land, and buildings to the
highest bidder.

Now, which of those companies would you rather have in your
home town?

The second one posts a profit that is probably TEN times the
firsts. It's got to be ten times better, right?

Jim
