Jeff Atwood"In General Electric’s annual report from 1953, the company bragged about how much it paid in taxes and how much it was spending on payroll. It explicitly said that “maximizing employment security is a prime company goal.” The founder of Johnson & Johnson said that the company’s responsibility to its employees was higher than its responsibility to its shareholders. Corporations then had a radically different conception of their role in society compared with corporations today." https://archive.is/66hPb
Mark Demeny@codinghorror Western governments should start naming the people who have the biggest tax avoidance or subsidy strategies as societies biggest shirkers. And conversely awarding those who do actually pay the highest rates with maybe a lapel pin that says "Capitalism winner 2023" or "biggest social contributor" and a shot at being invited to breakfast with the leader of the country or something.
