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.
I assume you would agree that organized crime should be punished for their crimes.
I don’t lump businesses together as all one thing, for they aren’t. They are either American businesses or not. Our interest should be first and foremost to support American businesses, not foreign businesses and multinational corporations, who want access to our markets but with unfair advantages over our businesses.
The same applies to the rights and privileges granted to American citizens, versus the citizens of other nations. Because we provide social security, healthcare, national and domestic defense, and many other benefits to our citizens, does not and should never mean that we provide them to people who live in other countries. We cannot pay for everyone in the world to live like us.
Likewise, we cannot allow foreign and international corporations to profit at our expense. If we indeed have a level playing field, adjusted to the level of our corporations, then fine. If they want to pay extra in shipping and handling to sell in our markets, it is only just, if Americans want to pay more for foreign produced goods and services.
Not all corporations are the same, so stop pretending that they are. No matter who writes your paycheck.
