Originally posted by Anonymouse Whether Person A is a small business owner or a Corporation owner, the current State says he must hire accordingly. It matters not if it is a corporation or a small business, it is essentially a private company and it is within the property rights of the owner to decide who he wants to hire or not. To think that the corporation as a "social responsibility" is morphing it into a welfare institution that somehow it is OBLIGED to help minorities. That is not so since you are thinking in socialist terms.
If affirmative action is a good thing and recognized as such by illuminated "liberals" of all stripes, why don't we see more voluntary affirmative action? Why don't white, liberal congressmen resign so that a black can be appointed instead? Why doesn't a university dean or Chancellor resign and insist that the job go to a Chicano? Why don't some of these very progressive CEOs hand over their own jobs to minorities? As with most forms of socialistic morality, it's always somebody else who pays the price for the illuminated ones' righteousness. As with everything the State does, all it does is hamper on business and the private enterprise.
