Sorry but your points do not count for much.  Unless you are a shareholder in a corporation, how they distribute their profits is absolutely none of your business. I mean that literally because, it isn't yours to manipulate because you haven't purchased a share of the company.  If you own shares, you can use your proportional vote to fire stupid CEO's.  Any business that doesn't take care of their bottom line (bottom-line-focused) will simply go broke.  A bankrupt corporation can't pass anything onto its customers.   Do you know how corporations grow into multi billion dollar behemoths?  They provide consumers the best products for the least cost.  Forget all that jive the professors fed you. Most are teaching because they can't make it in the private sector.
