Until globalist corporate America understands it is the national interest, and not short-term profits and stock market prices, that represents the ultimate "bottom line," this erosion of the economic infrastructure of the United States will continue.

I am a 50% shareholder of a close corporation -- so I am interested in learning when a corporation becomes part of the globalist corporate America complex. Will my corporation become a sentient member of evil corporate America when it employs 10 people or 50 people or a 100 people. Or does a corporation have to employ tens of thousands of people before it becomes evil? Hopefully, someone can define for me what the cutoff point is so that I will know when to stop expanding my business so that it doesn't become evil incarnate and instead continues to be run for profit for the benefit of its shareholders, its employees and its customers.

Oh please! You mean to try to claim that you don't know the difference between expanding a legitimate business versus a large institutional "Publicly Traded" company with dismal reports? The companies of recent scandals had easy access to billions of dollars of public money,
and they drank the "easy money", Kool-Aid. The problem is, easy money comes with strings attached called performance covenants (sales, profits, cash flow).

If a performance covenant is breached, then the money is usually due to be paid back immediately. So what do they do? Go Bankrupt.

It's about profit. And you have to make more profit each quarter. That is the bottom line. Humans are only a capital expense, consider them as such. Perhaps that is why we call them "Human Resources" instead of "personnel"?
