Heres another example of why the profit motive hurts everyone.

This company was held up by the Ikea-Wholefoods-CNNheros buisiness-liberals as proof that, "no we just need companies to start being friendly, we need 'solutions' like eco friendly buisinesss or a happy workforce."

The buisiness plan was to have non sweatshop working conditions in LA, and try and just spend less on marketing .... yeah, because the big companies did'nt think of that. Heres just more proof that the market will always bend to the lowest, cruelest demoninator. Almost in a way its worse than a dictatorship, because at least a dictator can CHOOSE to be benevolant, in capitalism the rulers CANNOT be benevolent.

It's more financially efficient to be a stingy, non-producing, low-paying organization, and its furthermore more effiicient to invest in organizations, stocks and futures which reflect this model.
