3. Need rebalance of corporate philosophy

We were told that there are 4 stakeholders in the corporation
1) the business
2) the stockholder
3) the employee
4) the community

Since 1985 the focus has switched to the sales dollars that benefit the corporate hierarchy and the stockholder AND now, even the community holds a higher place than the employee. The employee is seen as anecessary evil in order to produce.

There needs to be a rebalancing of the importance.
1) the stockholder needs to be paid but the business leaders needn't inflate their expectations.
2) the corporation needs to have money put back into research and development to create new products for future profit.
3) the employees (which includes the workers and the leadership) need to get a reward from the corporate profits. Since the reward is calculated in percentage of salary, the larged the salary the greater the increase but not at rates seen in the past for corporate honchos.
4) the community gets returns from charities, taxes from income, etc.

The worker has been beated down to the point where there is little of no discretionary income and the recovery is suffering.

Let's get the "stupid" out and start to rebuild America!!
