This is really more an issue for public companies than private companies. Public companies tend to make decisions that favor short term gains for shareholders in the upcoming quarter. It's a give and take, they initially get a lot more money to play around with going public, but then become handcuffed to chasing profits for their shareholders. Really though it should be up to companies to align themselves to whatever vision they have. Politicians should just stay out of it.
