Business cozying up to gov’t is as naturasl as anything else it does to achieve a competitive edge. However, for most of this country’s history gov’t has acted as a business constraint rather than an ally. Business treat gov’t accordingly.
It is only recently that businesses have taken on an ideological hue and it is red. Present Wall street leadership is aligned with the Usurping Marxist in the WH—as are some large corporations. I give you GE, GM and Chrysler as examples.
Whatever past alliances there were between business and government are small potatoes compared to what is happening now. You it is serious when businesses align themselves with an ideology that is anti-business.
This is corporatism: an alliance between big businsss, the unions and government. Another name for this is fascism, absent only the militarism. Of course, without the militarism, it might be called national socialism. Label matter less, of course, than the reality. We are in the hands of an elite who think they know what is best. Democracy in America has always resisted this natural development, which historically is normal. Here the people rule: that is the motto of the House is it not? God willing the majority in the House will take a stand against “the ruling class.” WEe will soon see.
