DEAR AMERICA: It’s Time To Say A Big “Thank You” To Amazon

Henry Blodget:

If more American companies started to do what Amazon does--ignore short-term pressures, sacrifice near-term profits, and invest for the long-term--the American economy would start to heal itself quickly. America would create more innovation, more jobs, and more long-term wealth. And, just as important, more Americans would be able to go back to being proud of our corporations and innovators and entrepreneurs... instead of camping in parks and protesting them.

As both a long-time customer, and a long-time investor in Amazon, let me just say, "Amen." (And I wish I'd invested 10 times what I did when I first got in, and I'm not selling now...)
