Don't worry Jim. Medicare will buy you that donut cushion pillow for your scooter chair. Maybe then your piles won't make you so cranky... PS, I know that you didn't teach this in your "business" class but many foreigners own shares of US company stock and pay taxes on the sale profits and/or dividend earnings. |

Miller wasn't the best business student. He didn't understand how a "service station" could remain in business merely by providing service. So, he took a gubmint job. |

I don't know if I agree entirely, but I think it's worth considering... |

Then the question of retained profits for growth rears it ugly head.

To liberals it seems profits are just greed, evil. No need to generate wealth under socialism. |

I wouldn't consider money spent on the business as profits, but the cost of doing business. |

Couldn't the companies, if they needed to grow, which I assume means their prospects are good, either borrow the money for expansion or sell more stock? |

Why borrow? Just reinvest some of the earnings. |
