Nothing like the "fact" that a company's profits should belong to everyone, right?

In case you weren't aware, McDonald's is a publically traded company. Cut into their profits, you cut into 401Ks, 403Bs, and a plethora of other private, small time investors looking to better their financial and retirement outlooks. Or, saving that, how about just cutting labor costs and easing out of those jobs altogether so that retirees and small-time investors continue to invest counting on the margins of the company showing growth?

But of course, how could that be? Don't big, evil corporations lead existances only unto themselves serving only to make a profit for their continued greedy existances?

...or maybe does Main St. and Wall St. actually have far more in common than your Supreme Leader Obama leads you to believe?
