This is where the Republicans get a black eye. Corporations have a responsibility to the communities within which they operate. This responsibility includes helping the community continue to grow usually by hiring local people, using local suppliers, etc. It also included “Do no Harm” such as not dumping toxic waste into the water and soil, not hiring criminals (illegals), etc. This single issue may be what costs Romney the election. I am all for business success but it cannot be at the cost of our legislative, legal and social systems to enable stockholders to get an extra .10 per share.

Here's the problem, nowadays Capital is global, it may be Chinese that hold a good portion of equity, there are no borders in the corporate world, there is no national loyalty. That's the nature of the beast.

Yep. The Republican party has long abandoned free enterprise for crony capitalism.
