No! Share holders invest their own money at risk to make a profit and that's the cold hard reality of it.
RawMustard,
Well, then they truly deserve what they get.

Absolutely, Indi. That's why so many are up in arms over the bail outs/bail ins or whatever they call them these days.

But lets not forget, Indi, a lot of these people that invest are normal people like you and I. They've probably worked very hard for their money and are probably in no mood or position to support those that would not support themselves. I see no remorse from those that buy on price. Why should I feel remorse when they lose their jobs?

< RM, this is one of the problems with big business today, the share holders. >

Share holders are only investors risking their own money.

< You see the share holders are now treated with such importance that all too often much needed reform is overlooked in fear of loosing their working capital. >

I see this is as a problem with CEO's and the board. A competent management will have more than enough sway to convince shareholders of needed restructuring. Look at Apple(TM) for an example. They were faced with this problem not too long ago. They put the company first and in so doing, put the concerns of their shareholders and customers first.

< Unfortunately in most cases the customer is less important, with the banks being a prime example. >

I don't believe that, rehctub. Good customers are always looked after and every attempt is made to shed time wasters. I'm sure you operated your own business in much the same manner?
Remember, share holders are customers too!

The whole problem, rehctub, is collective thinking. When you put your trust in others, you have to accept that some may not have your best interest at heart. Co-dependents have always been at the mercy of the charitable. This is the cold hard law of the land and will never change. All these people had a choice, they chose wrong. It is wrong to force others who made the right choices to bail them out.

RM, I do not support the bailout of SPC.

What I do support is for the bosses, the workers and the unions to sit down and come to some arrangement to save this company.

Now if the company is not worth saving, then so be it, that's life. But there is no way we, the general tax payer should pledge our taxes to save the jobs of those who are grossly over paid for what they do.

You shouldn't help anyone who won't help themselves.

Well Rechtub I am on solid ground in challenging your understanding of this issue.
Wages work out comes productivity increases are in no way the trouble here.
Hundreds of thousands , millions in fact of *loss making recent past out comes are*
The brave Local member a Liberal Woman with guts rebutted Abbott,s targeting the above, strongly.
The situation is the plant needs an upgrade to have a chance of surviving.
The request was 25 million from Victorian and federal governments and 90 million from Coke, nothing else.
Now I named Socialist fabian all types of crap know Labor will never win those state and federal seats.
But too that a community voting coalition forever is in real danger and in all truth think we should help.

This link should calm those who blame workers/unions for SPC s troubles.
Do not over look the bravery of this Woman, she has stood for her electorate and truth.
She will be far from the only Lib/Nat to stand against the Abbott/Murdock steam roller.
Watch as the pitiful efforts to not help drought stricken farmers re enters debate about what direction this government is taking.
The baby bonus/socialism for the well off will not go away while others in need suffer.
