I don't know where you get this notion that corporations and business only exist for profit. Profit is the primary motive; but, the furthering of societal goals is a rather important part of business. We don't build M1A1s merely for profit nor do we make cars merely for profit. We build them because we have to have them to function. Everyday people have sense enough to reailize that if you're manufacturing tanks while we're at war and your only concern is what you're getting paid, you're pretty much a piece of crap. I think we generally would say that is mercinary. I feel like I almost have to give you a lessen in ethics and morality so that you can get the point - and that is it's own commentary.

When people who don't own the corporation get the government to force the corporation to do what they want, rather than what the owners want, that is socialism.

I guess if it gets you what you desire, that's ok, but it's still socialism.

Start your own company get your own investors and do all the good for societal goals you desire. Just keep your hands off other peoples property.

I get this notion from having worked in startup companies, and numerous established companies. While some in the company might want to help society the goal of the corporation as an entity is and always will be profit. If people want to help the world they make non-profit organizations, if you want to make money you make a corporation.

Wrong again, when people make product for money they know to make the best product possible, it's called a recurring revenue stream. If your tank sucks countries won't buy it and you stop making money.

I feel like I need to give you a lesson in REALITY and how it works. There's nothing immoral or unethical about working for money. Money is how you pay bills, put a roof over your head, feed kids, and have something to put in the poor-box at church. Money makes the world go around. That's why we work, that's why companies exist. And until you get that you'll always be on the outside of life looking in.
