These are great goals for large corporations, but small business can't support child care centers and most can't do livable wage(even though most would like to). Would there be a separate guideline for them?

However, considering how many gifts people like Oprah and Bill Gates bestow on society I don't think I'd quite lump them in the same category as someone like Cheney. Don't recall ever seeing him give a red cent towards the welfare of his fellow man in this country. But aside from that, I do like your idea. Now to find a way to put it to work!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211543031504081746.post-91690079762144561902010-10-02T07:48:11.273-07:002010-10-02T07:48:11.273-07:00I can't believe I'm going to mitigate on t...I can't believe I'm going to mitigate on the Oprah hate, but she makes a metric shit ton of money by selling moronic platitudes to people foolish enough to buy them. No one is forcing those rubes to spend money on that crap. Gates, Buffet, Woods, Soros... is anyone literally forcing the public to buy their products or pay for their services?<br /><br />Cheney, on the other hand, lied this country into an illegal and unnecessary war in Iraq and funneled billions of tax dollars into Halliburton, a company he profits from personally. Hundreds of thousands of people are dead and he's still profiting from it. American soldiers are dead because Halliburton cut corners just to push their profits up a wee bit more.
