Wal-Mart does not care about the American economy because they are thriving the way the economy is now, so American citizens have to stand up for their communities. According to the book, How Walmart is destroying America and what you can do about it, when you are a huge rich company and all you want to do is get huger and richer, it turns out a lot of smaller, poorer people have to get hurt in the process. Wal-Mart with all its size and power, could hurt people or help them in a lot of situations. Which do you think it normally chooses to do (Bill Quinn 102)? The answer for so many years has obviously been hurt people.
(Maleske, M. 2010 Inside Counsel)" This case and others like it would surely start a huge liability case influx to other energy and oil companies worldwide. At the end of the day, most of these companies help to fund a great part of our economy; protecting them is a silent, yet major priority, which is partially why these cases will never make it to the Supreme
There is a law limiting the amount that a single group can give, but that’s not effective because a big company can make a bunch of little PAC’s and suddenly $5,000 becomes $200,000 or more. It’s a huge flaw in the system, and it cannot be allowed to be abused anymore before congress is in complete gridlock because they can’t endanger their interest. These interest groups aren’t just targeting politicians they are also buying votes; one example the article gives is The National Automobile Dealers Association getting a bill that would require them to inform buyers about defects in the car shot down. Along with the United Auto Workers paying $1 million to raise support for “domestic content”. It is so evident of a problem in our political process.
Fewer companies are willing to enter the market because of the SOX requirements that make going public too costly. Plus, the maintenance required to stay public is too expensive for smaller companies, forcing companies to look elsewhere to raise capital. Rising costs persuade large numbers of companies to exit the public markets to sidestep SEC regulation, creates two problems. First, the overall economy could suffer because corporations limit investment projects due to the higher-cost sources of capital to fund potentially new operations. Second, financially stressed companies that go dark are the very companies’ shareholders need to monitor usually and where transparency is most important.
ANWR: To Drill or not to Drill? Personally, I enjoy driving. I believe I can speak for most citizens of the United States of America when I say that driving is a favorite freedom and privilege. The problem with this is that it gets pricy, and for some less fortunate people gas prices are just too high. The main reason that prices are so high is that it foreign oil is extremely costly to secure and to maintain.
Our irresponsible behavior is also obvious when it comes to oil consumption. There are so many of us that are using inefficient transportation vehicles that create increasingly growing demand for oil. Our taste for big and low fuel efficient cars had proven itself to be very expensive one. The cars produced by Ford, GM and Chrysler are famous for being huge, powerful but very environment unfriendly. The problem became serious one when a huge number of Californians decided to purchase those vehicles and began carelessly driving around the state without the worry how they will affect the environment or the demand for oil.
The weakness of Kudler Fine Foods is that an IPO (Initial Public Offering) has many inherent and potential weaknesses that must be examined prior to selection as a means for expansion. An IPO is the first sale of stock by a company. There are many advantages and disadvantages for the Kudler Fine Foods to go public through the IPO.

Working conditions were harsh for the American industrial worker in the 1800s. With the boom of the Second Industrial Revolution and the need to expand business to meet consumer demands, employment opportunities opened at a rapid rate. In order to maximize profits, however, workers were given very few luxuries. Most factories had deplorable working conditions and were unsafe. Many workers lost hearing from loud machinery, lost limbs in hazardous equipment, and even lost their life due to the apathy of factory owners.
In the late 1800s times were tough, living and working was brutal, due to the conditions and the lack of safety regulations, scarce supplies of food, over population due to the vast amounts of immigrants filled the cities, money was hard to come by, because monopolies were controlling the market place, influencing consumer pricing and purchasing the “haves” could get it, while the “have not’s” had to fight for it (Doc-4). The free market is the strength of this great nation, with
(Deepwater Oil Exploration, 2006-2010). Although the process is extremely costly, the increase in oil prices beginning in 2007 made it a desirable industry in order to meet the insatiable need for oil in this country. Although there has been a segment of the population that has never been happy with our involvement in deepwater drilling, the Gulf oil spill this year has caused people to finally take a look at whether or not the process should be banned, given the unbelievably high price to pay when there is a spill of the nature that was experienced in
