Perhaps this might help you decide: corporations want only your money. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
Ideally as a capitalist society we should support benefits to business, but these tax breaks will have an effect only on large corporations rather than small- and medium-cap companies. This is another event in the continuing story of American businesses being too short-sighted, keeping an eye only on next quarter's bottom line. Seriously, are there any businesses out there who truly have a long-range vision?
Of course, this philosophy isn't completely corporate's fault. If individual investors weren't so rabid for profits that are both immediate and large then boards of directors would arrange things differently. Naturally, the average individual investor really doesn't understand the big picture, ecomonically.
I really do support capitalism, but like any philosophy it has its limitations and its faults. Well...my philosophy doesn't, but I am also arrogant and elitist. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
