The stockholders haven't complained...because the stock was doing good....and because they do not see or understand how the Accounting Principles were abused.............
I think if the stockholders knew they were being led down a false path of success....they will be a little upset. It will all come out sooner or later.
I think it's all about stock prices...if they are up ...(somehow someway)....people are happy ( I remember how everyone praised Clinton for the great economy...all because the stocks were climbing and breaking charts)....but when the crap hits the fan...then they cry and blame Bush.
Maybe we should hold all the stockholders responsible for the misconduct for not looking into that little prospectus more carefully or the financials every year when they recieved it in the mail...

Sure, why not? That matches up pretty well with your other observations on how government should intrude itself into the marketplace because greedy rich people must be stopped. How about we just tell government that they have no legitimate business looking for misconduct without a complaint from citizens with standing to complain?

This sounds like sour grapes from a socialist, especially with your admission that you loved working for a state government, but hate being in the private sector in a right to work state because your employer can fire you. I'll give you a tip: if you want to belong to a union and work in the private sector, you'd be better off getting a manual labor job in manufacturing. Except for government employees' unions, most unions don't represent anyone in management or other salaried positions.

FR isn't a forum where you should expect much sympathy for socialist positions such as yours. Complaining about an employer while cashing his paychecks is the kind of thing a socialist union slacker does. If you want to run your employer down, quit and then complain about him to your heart's content. If you want to applaud politicians when they attack the producers in our economy for violating socialist laws, don't be surprised when you get some criticism yourself. This is a conservative forum, after all.

No offense intended, of course.
