September 3, 200917 yr How about we do a contest? When the politicians of the world operate ethically then the businesses have to as well. Seems like a fair trade to me. I never said our politicians were somehow ethically pure. I have just as dim a view of them as I do of how the business world operates.
September 3, 200917 yr I never said our politicians were somehow ethically pure. I have just as dim a view of them as I do of how the business world operates. I don't see you rail against them with half as much venom as you do businessmen.
September 3, 200917 yr I never said our politicians were somehow ethically pure. I have just as dim a view of them as I do of how the business world operates. In your world should every company be non profit?
September 3, 200917 yr In your world should every company be non profit? Hardly. But, as I said, is it too much to ask that the business world not operate in such a lawless manner?
September 3, 200917 yr I don't see you rail against them with half as much venom as you do businessmen. Mostly because I've pretty much washed my hands of politics as a whole.
September 3, 200917 yr WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal prosecutors hit Pfizer Inc. with a record-breaking $2.3 billion in fines Wednesday and called the world's largest drugmaker a repeating corporate cheat for illegal drug promotions that plied doctors with free golf, massages, and resort junkets. Only $497.7 billion more and Obama will have enough to cover his healthcare plan. Next company to fine... Johnson and Johnson.
September 4, 200917 yr One of the classic oxymorons: Business Ethics. Only to liberals............. I operate a business with HIGHLY ethical practices..............
September 4, 200917 yr I'm surprised that you agree that the government's $2.3 billion punishment will be passed on the consumers as well. Absolutely
September 4, 200917 yr Only to liberals............. I operate a business with HIGHLY ethical practices.............. Small businesses, for the most part, generally do. You are out in the public regularly. I would bet if you were making your way screwing people over, folks would let you know, quickly. The big companies, however, hide behind layers of bureaucracy, and are largely unaccountable for their actions. Why can't companies such as Pfizer take cues from small business owners, rather than looking to bilk the public by any means necessary?

Although I don't think ALL large businesses are unethical, I do see your point.
