you don't get it though. why would a company want to divert their "good profit" to anywhere but the pocketbooks of the top if they can get away with it? They cut benefits, trim workforces by offshoring, and put their money overseas to avoid all 3 of what you just said.
by no means should a company be required to have x amount of people, but things like what GM did in the 80's for pure profit are sick.
secondly, Why is it always about bottom line? Im sorry but there should be more important things than money.
About what we need to do. Im not some economist I'm going to say that straight up. But unless you are then you are no more qualified than i am. we need to get pay away from the current stagnation if were going to see real growth in this economy. Money needs to be spent, but nobody can spend enough without going into debt. and then we risk another meltdown because of the huge household debt. Even if consumers become "more confident" Many are just going to go back to spending money they don't have, and thats wht got us into this mess anyways.
There was a time not too long ago in america where people had a good living and business was booming. Now companies are making even more but people aren't living so well. I truly believe that a happy middle ground can be found where companies can make good profits and Americans can live well.
