This is not anti business just anti big business like scum companies GE, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo Buffett, Geico Buffett, Coca Cola Buffett, JP Morgan Chase, Pepsico and other s**t companies pushing Obama’s agenda. Totally corrupt.

What “American people” is the author talking about? The America people who elected Barry?

"Let me explain to you how this works: you see, the corporations finance Team America, and then Team America goes out... and the corporations sit there in their... in their corporation buildings, and... and, and see, they're all corporation-y... and they make money."

The problem is the line between corporations and governments gets more blurred by the day.

Sounds like a big government problem. How powerful would GE be if big government wasn't so big?

Close Walmart, GM, Ford, Banks, and the major chain stores for 1 week. Then take the survey again and see if people like and trust big corporations.

What a brunch of ignorant whiners!

We have a situation where many major corporations are not only beheamoths of their own industries but the same people sit on multiple boards of directors creating what’s known as interlocking corporate directorships. The result being that GE, Pepsico, Proctor & Gamble, Comcast etc are really the same people operating under various “brands” to circumvent monopoly laws.

Crony Capitalism is spot on. It’s amazing how many bankers and corporate leaders got on the Obozo bandwagon. Never in history has such an ill-prepared person had so many servile suck-ups kissing his ass. And they still do. Wall Street actually gave more money to Obozo than McCain. Disgusting.

Big business and big government share many traits.

Competition is the heart of a free market, with mega corporations you have no competition you and you have capital cronyism.

this gives you things like too big to fail and let's raid the tax payers. TARP

At least that many should be disgusted with the biggest power grabber of all, the federal government. It can force you to sell your home, shut down your business, or go to jail, something no corporation can do....unless they have bought friends in the federal government.

BS. Not all corps but a lot of major ones are whores like GM, the big banks, GE and a few others. The banks were running 40 to 1 leverage and all of them lost and you are bailing em out. $380 billion to Prince Al Waleed and Rubin’s Citicorp.

Guess who gets hurt as well as taxpayers - smaller businesses. This is especially true in banking. Small and mid size banks in large part did not blow up and did not need a bailout. You are the ignorant one.

Unfortunately I agree with the majority of people who feel this way.

Companies like CH2M HILL, KBR, Halliburton, Fluor and Shaw and others need to be looked into their manner of doing business.
