    With all the tremolo around the world, a National Debt that looks like a clock taking us to the end of time, with all the people starving people with children not having health insurance with the number of people living without housing or work. How can a company like this make this kind of return on their investment How can they not
    show compassion or chick duty and donate some of their wealth even if they are not required to under our present
    tax laws?????????????????

    Large American and or Foreign Corporations doing business in the United States who are profiting like Exxon, Apple, Sony, Goldman Sachs and OTHERS like large transportation business should be Adopting Bridges, Nuclear Power Plants, Schools, etc using some of their exuberant profits they are earning from either their customers and or our taxes to revamp the failing infrastructure we have inherited.

    Creating new jobs good will is a important part of doing business and even though companies like Boeing who never pay any taxes and who in many cases receive large amounts of money from our Government [our taxes dollars] don’t have to Adopt a project THEY SHOULD as an American Corporation WANT TO.

    In principle it is a fundamental responsibility of these companies
    to contribute back to the communities where they operate and to the country that allows them to do business within a free enterprise system.
