Purpose of any Company is Profits - screw the workers

Meanwhile, in the real world, only people who deserve profits are those who contribute to the advancement of mankind – who make better products that an economy needs. When finance people are honest, that is what happens.

No profits? That message says the product / company is operating against mankind – working to corrupt the economy. Profits only say one might be advancing mankind. Eventually even the spread sheets from Enron style companies show how much they have subverted mankind because only profits were important.

If a company is earning a profit instead of advancing the product; that is the mafia. Obviously, finance people rarely grasp the concept because their training and nature is to be corrupt at any opportunity. Greed is good. Screw the people, economy, mankind, and the world. That simple principle commonly found in Wall Street where innovation and economic advancement is not the purpose. Where innovation is something messy that just gets in the way of profits.

American soldiers were found dead. Slumped over their broken down and jammed M-16s. Why? That was good. By using cheaper ammunition, profits were made. Lookout123’s principles. Profits are the purpose. Which is why those deaths were routinely covered up until whistle blowers were finally discovered. Those dead American soldiers are a direct result of lookout123's principles. Even openly advocated by the George Jr administration: ie Haliburton, K-Street, and long list of world record corruption.

Since profits are the purpose of any company, George Jr's adminstration even refused to prosecute Enron. In complete agreement with the principles advocated by lookout123.
