End Stock Buybacks, Save the Economy?
If you work for a large public company, it&#x27;s a fun exercise to add up all the money the corporation has spent on dividends &amp; stock buybacks for the past year (such info is publicly available) then divide it by the number of employees. You often end up with a truly staggering amount, on the order of hundreds of thousands of dollars per employee per year. Some might object to such extravagant handouts to people who (by a vast, vast majority) played no part in the creation of that wealth.
