    Make profit, of course.

    If I start a business, I am not thinking I can't wait to give jobs to people. I start a business, to make a living so I can pay my bills and invest for my family's future. I will hire if my business becomes successful and need people to make the business more profitable. Of course, I will pay taxes because it is the law. I will do community service if I can afford to do so.

    Number 4 is the goal, the others are possible results of achieving that goal.

    Make a profit. Everything else follows, a concept that Liberals seem to have a lot of trouble understanding.

    Make a profit for it's owners/investors. Everything else it does just to support its primary function.

    4, except for the fact that they constantly lobby in order to not support the civic infrastructures upon which their profit is built...almost suicidal, if you ask me...

    All of them except number two that doesn't make sense.
