Fr. Seamus Finn, OMI – member of the Justice/Peace and Integrity of Creation Ministry – continues his work  on bringing faith and values into the financial world where the Oblates and other religious organization are invested. Fr. Finn is well-connected locally in Lowell and Greater Lowell. He writes regularly on the HuffingtonPost site. Today he notes:

 Three resolutions that corporate leaders might do well to consider as they are out of the spotlight are as follows: 

1. Review the many public services on which their businesses rely on a regular basis.
2. Include in that review, the publicly funded research and education that contributes to their business.
3. Consider objectively what appropriate corporate tax rate is commensurate with their public citizenship.

Recognition by corporations of their fair tax contribution could go a long way toward shoring up the social fabric, political climate and the financial health of our country, all currently sorely frayed.
