Yes, I’ve seen your page of corporate logos.
My perspective is the Republican leadership have become as obsolescent as were the old Whig leadership.
Calvin Coolidge was wrong. The business of America is *not* business. The business of America is Americans. If those Americans own businesses that are loyal and patriotic to America, I’m all for them. But if their loyalties are divided, they are as untrustworthy as are mercenaries in battle, willing to switch sides for whoever offers them the most loot.
The Democrats embrace International Socialism, via the Socialist International, an organization of leftist political parties from around the world.
Chamber of Commerce Republicans embrace Internationalist Capitalism, whose ends are much the same, backing rule by faceless bureaucrats. A Rollerball world of corporate government.
The Whig leaders fell because they could not bring themselves to oppose slavery, loathed by the rank and file of the party, because slavery was business, and business had to be good. So the rank and file left the Whig party and formed the Republicans, as much as not to destroy the institution of slavery.
The Whig leaders wormed back into the good graces of the Republicans, then began again their ascent in the party, to bring back “business first” leadership. And when they did, over and over again, the result was disaster for the party and the nation.
Perhaps this is why RINOs detest conservatives so much. Because they worship a god other than Mammon.
LOL, Those represent what I do to make my career. Most people don't see business as evil. They are how I fed my family, provided shelter and have an enjoyable life. Business also provides most of the things I purchase.
I don't want government selecting who should do well, who should be financially punished, who should be financially rewarded.
