Haliburton gets no bid contracts. It doesn't fulfill it's contracts and is ripping off Iraq and the US government. The stockholders won't do anything to stop Haliburton until their stocks are effected negatively. This is a no brainer.
Is this clear? Assuming the shareholders behave in a capitalist manner, Haliburton can continue to behave unethically so long as they keep showing growth and the the shareholders keep making money.
