>The only fiscal responsibility [for a business] is to keep profits high. >You don't complain when any other resource [other than Human Resources] is sold or retired to save money It's funny that you point this out. Our treatment of and relationship to corporations is interesting. On one hand, we want to treat them as faceless entities or machines that have only the fiscal responsibility of generating profits. In this view, their impact on "regular" employees is an unfortunate by-product of this responsibility and no-one's fault. On the other hand, we grant them full person-hood, where convenient. Further, the profits they generate do frequently accrue to actual human beings. So, the corporation seems to have become nothing but a tool (or weapon) for redistributing wealth in ways for which no-one should be held accountable.
