More interesting, corporation that are productive are not involved with, running to, or interfering with government. For example, corporations that have problem with unions and free markets have profitability problems due to no new products 10 and 20 years ago. Rather than blame a myopic management for obsolete products, that management would rather blame unions, tax structure, laws, foreigners - anything but top management.
How do such companies get productive? Either the Board of Directors fires bad management (ie Nardelli at Home Depot). Or bankruptcy forces change (ie GM, Eastman Kodak). The second option, that makes America so productive, is subverted when solutions do not address the #1 reason for problems - top management. Instead we blame the workers? Better is to undermine the American standards of living? Where does that make sense?
Companies that do not need laws to protect profits are, coincidentally, America's most productive. Because the boss works for and empowers his employees. With an innovator’s attitude, an employee is an asset; not something to cost control and blame.
