Even if your assertion that we should, in the United States, only speak English (really no logical reason for that), the point would be moot. Companies aren't people, they don't have pride: they make profit.
Companies are comprised of people, who do have pride, and who collectively have the ability to influence society. Yes, their mission is profit and growth, but I would like to think that principle can fit in somewhere. I certainly would never agree to forcing them to adhere to a doctrine of national pride and rejection of foreign influence, but I would certainly like to see some backbone.

I never said that English should be the only language, I said everybody should be able to speak it. The Constitution is written in what language? Our judicial system in influenced by what European country primarily? Over 85% of the population speaks what language in the home?
