That's a weak distortion of my argument. I am simply proposing that corporate entities realize that their worker morale and treatment can make or break the future of capitalism. Their behavior directly affects all of us in that extremely poor PR can get us dictatorial socialists. It's in everyone's best interest (including the corporate entities themselves) that they weigh momentary profits against long term ones.

I am not arguing that the government do anything one way or the other. I am hoping that corporate minds weigh very carefully how many people they can infuriate before we turn into the socialist EU or worse, communist Russia or China.

Communism is repugnant and unthinkable here in the US. But that's only because is has poor PR and capitalism still looks better. How many exported jobs do you think it would take to change that dynamic?
