I'm a citizen and, although justice in this land is by no means perfect,
a court case has been decided (using the best attorneys money can buy,

It's obscene to consider that a company at the peak of it's historical
earnings is trying to shirk it's civic responsibility. But that's a sign

coverage for their employees.

This shifting of responsibility makes me sick. It's time for
accountability and for all to pay their fair share, including
politically influential corporations.
