If the company is doing well, you share in the gains just like all of the other owners. If it's not doing well you vote with your telephone and sell the stock. Essentially you just fired the management. Doing well only refers to one aspect of a corporation's performance, typically. The problem is that corporations have become the actual government in many countries, such as this one, and corporate actions are destroying the middle class. |

Selling the shares doesn't have any affect on CEO salary, for example. They've got their parachutes and are immune from my small action. |

Right, let's do...nothing. Doing nothing is better than doing the wrong thing. Ethanol still has not proved it's value. Ethanol is a ruse. *We should be investing in switchgrass or algae production and refinement. Why not CNG, it is cheap, clean and we have plenty of it? Why not invest in something we can grow instead of ripping apart the earth's crust while spoiling the water table with toxins and dangerous gases? Because we are going to run out of water long before we run out of oil. So, we should make the problem worse by using fracking? Did you just learn a new word? ? Are you trying to insult me? If so, try again. No D'Plume. He asked you a question. Mentally are you really that thick? |

Ethanol still has not proved it's value. There are other agricultural alternatives to corn ethanol. If we come up with something, I'd like it owned by the people instead of by big, multi-national corporations. We need to move away from "corporate uber alles." Why don't you start up a co-op. What a freaking dumb****. |

We need to move away from "corporate uber alles." You should buy some stock in some of those big, multi-national corporations. It turns out that they are all owned by the people, people just like us. Right...small individual shareholders have the ability to control big, multi-national corporations, and Hollywood starlets call me all the time for dates. Big, multi-national corporations...that's why everything is working out so well. I prefer public ownership of the public's resources, the public's highways, the public's schools, the public's hospitals, the public's airports. et cetera. When "the system" favors only the rich, when the middle and lower income classes are regressing, when able-bodied, willing workers cannot find decent, family supporting jobs, all because of the greed at the top, it's time for serious, heavy duty change. You are an idiot. |

We can change the negative impacts corporations have on society. You're a real flatlander, eh? |
