Good business sense?

The main purpose of any business is to make a profit. The costs of doing business cuts into these profits and must be minimized. Two large expenses are salaries and, lately, environmental protection requirements.

Exporting jobs offshore where labour is cheap and environmental laws are minimal is seen by some as a sound business practice. The added expense of shipping manufactured goods back , while degrading our environment even further, generates still more profit.

Breaking down full-time jobs into small temporary jobs, then contracting them out to avoid paying employee benefits is another way to help maximize profits.

Watering down any attempt by environmentalists at ecologically sustainable practices maximizes profits even further.

 Increased profits from these business practices end up into the pockets of the rich and powerful.
