[Grovenet] Answer on 42.

Ron, there's a balance between the two somewhere.
Am sure you're not oblivious to corporate greed --
the type where a CEO is paid millions while other
employees lose their retirement funds ...  No, there
must be some playing field where the intention of
fairness comes into play.  The rule cannot be that
a business must always succeed no matter the
damage to people.

That corporate greed does not make our country work.
I am hoping for a balance in there ...  with We the
People having to take priority over We the Corporation
-- as a guide.  If you really think about it without just
an immediate reaction, I am not saying corporations
should have all kinds of rules stacked against them.  Of
course not -- they must be workable, and I would wish
businesses large and small to be successful for their
creators.

But re, your line (below): "Is it greedy for a worker to
work where he/she gets paid the most for his/her time
and effort?"  Of course not!  That's why competition for
corporations is important (I think it would be a good idea
for the Sherman Anti-Trust Act to start being enforced
again) --  not only competition for their goods and services,
but competition for good employees.  A business won't do
much without good employees.  And by good employees,
I don't mean overseas "slave" labor!
