"Actually companies exist for the benefit of the country. "


I don't know where you got that nugget, but you had better come back to the real world. If you ask any major company or corporation in the United States, "benefiting the country" will not be one of the reasons why they are in business. Companies are in business to MAKE A PROFIT. That profit is then shared with their investors.

"Companies are in business to MAKE A PROFIT."

From another post of mine:

Extreme capitalists... These folks aren't Americans first, they're capitalists first and foremost. They cling to the flag when they need Americans to die for their corporate interests.

Now I would ask, are coroporations entities that simply exist? Are there no people in these corporations? If there are people involved, are they Americans? Is there a pledge of allegience to your country? Why is it we don't pledge allegaince to the company? Those who elevate the company to a higher status than the country are very misguided and just as dangerous to America as the Marxist crowd.

That nugget comes from a reading of our history as well as that of other nations.
If ultimately the only purpose of a business is to make money, everthing else takes second place; a stable society, abiding by the law, continuation of our republic, an exemplar of freedom to the world.
There is no doubt that business must make a profit but business does not exist within a vacuum where the events of the world come second to the profit motive.

If you truly believe that some faceless foreign CEO cares about this country-think again. You are selling America out. The Dems want to give America away. Pure capitalist want to sell America. In the end the coutry will suffer either way.
