Compare this to truly ethical and socially responble businesses like Wal-Mart, Microsoft, Siemens, etc. who employ millions and bring high quality and affordable products to the masses, while at the same time making a decent amount of profit.

Maybe you think this is ethical and socially responsible? http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=13550

And this isn't slavery? http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=13514

I am an accountant and financial analyst so my business is your business's bottom line. I work with and for some of the largest real estate developers and investment holding companies in the US. I know damn well that it is possible to be financially successful without resorting to some of the practices certain corporations do.

Do you honestly expect me to respond to lies and propaganda spread by socialists as though they had even the slightest bit of truth to them? Also, even if these things were true, the companies mentioned like Wal-Mart, Kohls, etc. are not doing them. Some local company in a third world country is.

Eventually they will be shut down, because the FACT is, there is no long term profit in doing business unethically.
