Obviously the people complaining here do not own stock in any of the companies in question. I for one would be irate if I owned stock in a company or worked for a company that did not seek to save money (including taxes) whenever they can.

Heck, I didn't need a new computer, but I bought a $4,000 one just because my accountant said I would be needing more write-offs. Is it legal? You bet. Is it the right thing to do? Yes, yes, yes.
