And that is part of what's contributing to the breakdown of America. Businesses aren't citizens anymore.

I don't expect businesses to do something that puts them out of business, i.e. unprofitable. It's my job to be a good citizen, not Microsoft's.

"It's my job to be a good citizen, not Microsoft's."

And there is the schism. At what point does a company quit being people? At what point does a company no longer need to pay attention to human values? At the point of incorporation?
Does this mean for the 8, 10, 12 hours a day you work, you are not a citizen, you are a profit seeker? Do you make decisions differently at work? If you do things that are anti-American, or counter to your religious beliefs, is that ok since it's for the company?
