That's just nuts. The machine that makes the products was PURCHASED by
management, the raw materials were PURCHASED by management, the electricity
which runs the machine was PURCHASED by management, all using money that was
INVESTED by sources of capital. The buyer of the machine, the management, paid
the seller of the machine, the whole and complete amount that the seller of
that machine ever expected to get for it. The transaction was completed then
and there. The buyer of the machine does not owe the seller anything, on a
continuing basis.
