Re: "Again, what a company does with its profits is none of your business. Unless you own stock, in which case you have already endorsed its investment plan."

Wrong again. Let's say I own stock in Stanley Tools, which wants to move its HQ from Connecticut to Bermuda. Are you saying that all Stanley shareholders are in agreement with making Stanley a non-American company? Hardly. Also, I would point out to you that Stanley can only accomplish such a move through a vote of shareholders. So in this case, you are dead wrong.

The larger question is how does a company obtain its profits? If profits are obtained by ripping off consumers, then we move from the arena of private business to the arena of federal consumer protection law.

Reread #253534 and reflect on what Enron did to the people of California. No doubt your reply will be, "If it's legal, it's OK."
