I have a quick question, and I do not claim to be anything near an expert in the area. Many posters have made statements along the lines of "A company should have / does have the right to hire who they wish, based on whatever criteria they choose, so long as it doesn't violate Federal / State discrimination laws."
My question is this : in my understanding, companies are offered rather interesting tax breaks from the Federal and State governments, which is one of the reasons that wealthy individuals form S-Corps and other tax shelters, from what I understand. So, if a company is getting some form of tax break / incentive from the government, based on everyone's tax dollars, does this or does this not, in some sense, oblige them to be considerate of everyone who is paying into the pool? Ergo, perhaps I would agree more closely with the bolded statement above, if a company took its normal tax withholdings, determined the proportion of people who have "offensive" behavior out of the general population, deducted this fractional portion from their tax incentives, and paid more back into the general pool. Otherwise, you're taking money to increase your "productivity" from people you despise, and will not even hire. Regardless of whether their low-down, despicable behavior is conducted in the privacy of their own homes.
