heh, no comments from the usual left wing loads around here.

I'll bet he's sorry he shot off his mouth.

Just another duplicitous left wing scumbag exempting himself from the misery he wants to inflict on others

Yeah, Buffet is left wing. I guess it's his socialist tendencies that lead to the accumulation of tens of billions of dollars.

People who seek after money tend to become corrupted by it, and this is as true of those espousing liberal policy as those espousing conservative policy. Duh.

People and institutions seeking wealth will always seek ways to keep it. Duh.

It's the left wing companies making money. The right wing companies complain about the government impeding their business. Ironic isn't it? Right wing wanting the government to bail them out when left wing is doing just fine with the current structure.

Netflix, Facebook, Amazon, Starbucks all doing well.

It's the shit banks and offshoring industrial companies complaining.

You forgot the liberal vegan Steve Jobs at Apple.

Let's not forget Patagonia, a company that has gone way been what is required by regulations to produce more environmental friendly processes. They are not perfect, but the company has made a very dramatic effort.

I don't like that I got an email from Patagonia wanting to block an oil sand pipeline. We need it and pipelines are safer than any other transport method.

Seems to me that Amazon spends a large effort trying to avoid sales taxes in many states. Here in CA they are pulling out all the stops....perhaps you want to pull back your list?

Yeah, I simply went by who they support politically. Business is business.

ITT: Hugh, 4matic and Hutash extol the virtues of a free market, capitalist system that allows people to vote with their dollars

you guys should really inform your comrades about this, that corporations are rewarded for responsible actions in a capitalist society

You and your comrades have made the argument over and over that corporations will not make responsible decisions unless the govt forces them to, that somehow it is even possible to put "profits over people" and that they somehow choose to do this, etc

in this thread you are singing a different tune, claiming that people vote with their dollars and THAT guides corporations into responsible decisions

can you show me where you got the idea that im a christian?

JER!!! FTW!
