You keep puching that "8%" number when there's no evidence showing a causal link (these days) between raising that number and results.

Remember. Corporations these days are run FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS. That is their NUMBER ONE loyalty.

Put someone from the private sector in charge and you can expect them to behave in a manner that will benefit HIS owners (read: campaign contributors).

Again, read what I wrote - damned if you do and damned if you don't. It's like nobody knows what "the happy medium" would feel like if it came up and BIT them in thigh!
