[quote=henry quirk;925477No sir...in my own way: I've addressed all your points...that you don't like (or, understand) what I'm posting is not my concern.[/QUOTE] Sir. You clearly have not. Because you cannot. To have addressed each point means reasons why (not rhetoric). And you provided examples. You did neither because you cannot.

You said the purpose of a business is profits because profits are the purpose of a business. That is classic Tea Party reasoning - also called rhetoric. When challenged to post examples, you posted none. Not even one. Otherwise the fallacies in that rhetoric are exposed. Your reasoning is disingenuous. But classic of how radical and extremist opinions are defended.

Purpose of a business is either its profits or its products. Which one? Difference between purpose and reward is fundamental. You ignore both to remain entrenched in rhetoric. Same logic also proved increased health by smoking cigarettes. A naive consumer automatically believes only what he is told. And then becomes entrenched when reality and logic expose the myth. You even ignore businesses such as NGOs, SOE, and non-profits. Otherwise you might learn how easily you were deceived by sound byte rhetoric.

No way around exceptions that you ignore. Now way around the examples you cannot provide. No way around disingenuous reasoning that Limbaugh also uses to defect glaring contradictions.

Purpose of a productive business is its products. That will not change no matter how many times rhetoric says otherwise and its examples are ignored. Product (not profits) made America (and other free market nations) great. Profits are simply one example of the reward - and not the purpose of all businesses. When the purpose of a business is profits, then words such as racketeering and mafia apply. More examples that expose fallacies in your rhetoric. Since the purpose of businesses (that are not corrupt) has always been their product.

What they contribute to the advancement of mankind.
