I don’t want “Corporate America’’(whatever the F that is) representing “We The people’’. What I want “Corporate America’’ to do is do it’s job providing me and every other America good products/goods/services at competitive prices and good service. I don’t need ‘’representation’’ by “Corporate America’’.
Its the corporate association with government that concerns me.
In Michigan and elsewhere, the legislature mandates production cuts on energy producers. This in turn creates an artificial increase in demand which leads to higher prices. With their production cuts comes a decrease in overhead costs. Add in the carbon credits they sell and these companies are doing pretty good under this kind of system.
Mandating the elimination of incandescent light bulbs has actually worked out pretty good for the big players like GE. EPA regs make it cost prohibitive for them to produce CFLs in America so they close a plant, sell the resulting carbon credits to China and move there.
