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
Kevin RussellThey have been stealing wages for ages.
Henry Ford thought it smart to pay Ford workers enough that workers could buy a Ford, and did so for years.
Members of the Board of Ford, took Ford to court, suing him for giving money that could be theirs, profits on their investment, to workers who have no standing in court.
They won, Ford Lost. Ford paid those Board members enough to start their own car company, which became GM.
Because people have no standing in court, just money.
