Ten Companies Profiting Most from War My comments, on the article at the included URL
Looking at the PROFITS, divided by the employees, and having known people in Silicon Valley so happy just to have a job, as Pelosi stated, at least her MIC Corporations didn't leave when she voted to send US jobs over seas (She's done this repeatedly) I note... here are the highest profit to wage level. <http://247wallst.com/2013/03/06/ten-companies-profiting-most-from-war-2/2/> I first saw this article in the March 11th LUV News, posted at a different link. Keep in mind, Peace is the most threatening economic disaster, those who need these profits can imagine, they invest in War, for Profits. #10 Profit $5.3 billion employees 199,900 Per Employee value contribution to over all yearly profit $26,513 (I have to ask myself, does any of their in the shop employees make this much a year? Most of these companies are where wages are severally depressed) #9 Total profit: $956 million Total employment: 61,000 Per Employee value contribution to over all yearly profit $15,672 #8 Total profit: $-3.2 billion Total employment: 70,470 #7 Total profit: $1.4 billion Total employment: 133,120 Per Employee value contribution to over all yearly profit $10,516 #6 Total profit: $2.1 billion Total employment: 72,500 Per Employee value contribution to over all yearly profit $28,965 #5 Total profit: $1.9 billion Total employment: 71,000 Per Employee value contribution to over all yearly profit $26,760 #4 Total profit: $2.5 billion Total employment: 95,100 Per Employee value contribution to over all yearly profit $ 26,288 #3 Total profit: $2.3 billion Total employment: 93,500 Per Employee value contribution to over all yearly profit $ 24,598 #2 Total profit: $4.0 billion Total employment: 171,700 Per Employee value contribution to over all yearly profit $ 23,296 #1 Total profit: $2.7 billion Total employment: 123,000 Per Employee value contribution to over all yearly profit $ 21,951 Since I don't have a wall street capable calculator, I did the math of profit per employee rather close. Total profit and Total employees are from the article. Please note, Profit is considered after all Salaries, and since most CEO's make as much as all the workers combined, this is already removed from the figures, this is simply what the company gets to put in the bank, though they may have to pay their stock holders out of the profits, but then again it may already have removed as a cost of doing business. My bottom line is, the workers created this many dollars of wealth AFTER ALL EXPENSES INCLUDING PAYROLL. Those profits come from yours and my tax dollars. I'd like to know what each of these companies pay in Taxes, and how much they invest in favorable legislation, how much they have invested in media that promotes war and suppresses dissent. Keep in mind, it is our labors that pays for all of that as their money originated from, or is owed by you and I. But for some reason, I get the feeling, Oil companies were over looked, as about half of their profits are from US Military use, no war, loss of profits, they have to create another false shortage and raise prices as if being at war wasn't their main reason for stating there is a shortage and raising prices.
