Anytime good business is bad for a society that society has issues that need resolving.

Well if you're so close you can't see the forest for the trees, then this type of statement is to be expected. Because it's all a matter of what we define as "good business". Ya'll think you should be able to do anything you want as long as it turns a profit. I've demonstrated that has not been the case and for good reason. I've provided Three top examples of abuses that business thought was good business. Because they were evidently too close and too single minded, we the people had to jerk a knot in their collective tail. And in one instance it was the basis for a civil war. Business has demonstrated time and again the ability to put blinders on so they can only see dollar signs while they create and perpetuate attrocities against the citizenry. We've been here before too.

Through your own logic and that of others here, you legitimize hitmen and murder for hire in general. It turns a profit and after all, no business should be limited by anyone in their pursuit of profit - that's just evil. So If I can find someone that wants you dead, I'd be justified in offing you as long as I can make a profit.. that's your standard.. Anybody want this guy offed? (/sarcasm)

Good business is things like sending labor to somewhere cheaper, under cutting competition who have too much fat, and expanding market share.

Sorry I don't legitimize hitmen and murder, saying I do is LYING and not appreciated. I legitimize doing business legally and thuroughly. I'm just not stupid enough to think that a business has some ethical obligation to allow competition to thrive or even exist. My standard is that if stupid taxation and regulation drives up labor costs in America so much that manufacturing can no longer be done profitably in America that's AMERICA'S fault, not the businesses moving manufacturing to somewhere cheaper. There's no murder in that, and no equivalent to murder. Stop the lies Havoc, they make you look desperate and stupid.
