Exactly.
If you OWN a company, it is not a social project unless that is what you want it to be. You should have the freedom (what a quaint notion) to run your company as you see fit.
If you OWN it and want to run it as a social engineering product like Atlas Shrugged’s Twentieth Century Motor Company, then...be my guest. If you like to piss people’s money, jobs and livelihood away, have at it.
If you want to sell the company or just fire everyone and liquidate the assets because you want more money or want to get your initial investment back, it SHOULD BE UP TO YOU.
This makes me madder and madder the more I dwell on it. This is why industry has deteriorated in this country so precipitously over the last four decades.
Dimwits like this author who supposedly ran businesses believe there is no correlation between robust industry and a good economy. They see the purpose of industry as simply a tool to serve workers without realizing it is the industry that provides workers with the livelihood that allows them to pay the taxes they love so much into the various local, state and federal coffers.
Trust me. Price and wage controls are on the way, as are regulations against hiring and firing as you as a owner/CEO see fit. Heck, those hiring/firing regs are already in place to a degree.
I have been blessed to work for a good company for 25 years, but the default reason I believe I am there is to provide value to THEM to want to keep me around, not for THEM to provide me with money. Liberals accept as default the exact reverse.
Our country is so screwed, because there are apparently more of them than us, and they will get their way.
I CHARGE that this Dimwit NEVER owned a business. Words are cheap, proving it much costlier. She has no case, and I suggest this case is closed. Give these idiots NO ATTENTION
BTW: you spoke much truth in your post, but you will never get the LIBs under age 40 to understand capitalism. Everything belongs to them, the most rude & precious generation ever. You have experienced this group, I'm sure.
BTW P.S: Just announced that the UNIONS (?which ones) are going to protest Wal Mart on Thanksgiving Day. Why, because they are OPEN.........lol. I have got some shopping to do that day.
