The main point of Rodgers argument is “Why is it that Whole foods gives money to a worthy cause, it serves high moral objective, while a company that provides good return for small investors- who simply put their money into their own retirement funds or a children’s college fund – is somehow selfish?” Rodgers justifies his argument by stating hard facts.
