WmSafire's
op-ed The New Socialism 02.26.96 which speaks against partnerships.
Safire warns corporate America to be wary of the banner, "social
responsibilty." Under this new banner 'leftists' will coerce
corporations to pick up the slack left by the government when it comes to
funding education, health care, and welfare. He adds a new word to the
lexicon of the left: "stakeholder". He defines this word as people who
have a direct stake in the education, care, and responsibility of the
people. Corporations will be 'stakeholders'. He warns that this is just
another attack on corporate greed and a way to continue to pick the
pockets of Corporate America to do what the government should be doing.
