<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="henry6"] <P>The way I interpret entrapenurial attitudes of the late 19th and early 20th Century is that, though so called Robber Barons, they worked at creating industry thus jobs thus communities thus US commercial strength. Today the investors' companies seek not to make productes or produce services but rather save money reducing US commercial strength via the elimination of products and services, quality of product, and jobs. Saving money is thier most important entrapanurial activity while the product be damned.</P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">By “save” money, I assume you are including the earning of money because if they only wanted to save their money, they would not go into business in the first place.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So if you are referring to earning money, I don’t see how you can do that while thinking the product be damned, as you say.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Earning money has always been the objective of business, so I don’t understand your point about the difference between now and the robber baron era.</SPAN></P>
