Corporate America You Owe Us Right or Wrong by johnlance on Blogster

Right: Corporate America owes each of us an obligation as we are all Americans. They should follow the lead of some of the professions:
Law: Many Bar Associations and other organizations do pro bono work for those who can not afford an attorney. I know some corporations do give away their products to the poor as an act of charity. Doctors give their skill and expertise such as Doctors without Borders without pay to help those in need. My article on Bill Gates is an attempt to have men like him and he himself give their time, thought and attention to a problem we all acknowledge exists all over our country and that is to reform our educational system so that we produce the work force we need to continue on as a Democracy in this world and a world leader.
Wrong: Just talking about it and not doing anything about it. Our attention is focused now do the right thing.
Right: Each of our corporation heads have the smarts to figure out how to increase the bottom line well the challenge now is the bottom line of your America its public educational system. If it means getting rid of old approaches to teach then let us devise new teaching methods to reach our children. I do not believe for one minute that teachers are the only ones qualitifid or expert enough to do it. I have faith in Corporate America. Kaiser was a man who never built a ship. In World War II he was responsible for the Allies winning the war when he put his mind and heart in it to build a cargo ship in a matter of weeks and supply so many of them that the German submarines could not sink them all and many got thgough with the supplies needed by our allies fighting the war. There are many more Americans like him out there in Corporate America whose minds are needed to solve these problems. History shows us that in the past many of our successful presidents turned to Corporate America for solutions to the many problems we had in order to win the war. It was not only our military but Corporate heads who gave their time, Yes they made money so what we all benefitted by their conduct and action. They were not motivated by greed alone although I agree that greed helps to move things along, they were also motivated by that gut feeling we all have as Americans we love our Country and our people. I would like to hear some feed back from some executives fear not to voice an opinion for it is through your opinions right or wrong that can help with finding solutions.

Corporate America could reverse the failures of the education system. But not as long as government funds and regulates it. It needs to be privatized. It would then become a business in itself.

Yes, I agree.

Stupid idea!!! Education is not a business, NoBull. I am grateful for the good things the private sector gives us, but once people start using vouchers, my belief is that it will leave public education financially gutted.

If you want more civil discourse, you can apologize for your chickesh!t attack. I think you are too much of a COWARD hiding under your anger to do that!

Keep bloggin', NoBull...you are walking proof that the far right is more concerned with attacking those they disagree with than actually contributing something of value to society.

You would have made a great NAZI, NoBull.[TONGUE]

Please remember, almost 50% of what you pay for anything in America, product or service, is the so-called "corporate tax." This is not money paid to the government by the corporation, but money paid by us, the consumers, collected by corporations on it's way to the government!!
