The reason the Chamber of commerce is attacking the tea party is because they know we mean it when we say we’ll end cronyism and corporate welfare.
Crony Capitalism = Fascism
big gubmint…big biz…what difference????
merchants…politicians =thieves/force….they’ve beenin bed together from the start….
Most of us just now are facing up to the treachery and duplicity of the country club class. The biggest mistake we conservatives made was to lower their taxes so that government becomes less of a burden on them and more of a source of income. when 35% of the economy is government and expanding they will help it expand at these levels of taxation. If they want help on lowering their taxes even further they will find the entire GOP congressional delegation will be little lapdogs. then they will just have to broker with the Donk party. It will all be on Dem terms like it always is.
Their should be no corporate or upper class tax cuts until government spending is under control the border is secure and we have a fair access to the corporate media. In fact we should insist that they pay more to cover the mess they have made.

“The fact that former governor Haley Barbour (R., Miss.) has been one of the most outspoken advocates of comprehensive immigration reform should raise suspicions about any professed opponent of crony capitalism who also likes the bill. Few can match Barbour’s zeal for the transactional (and decidedly anti-free-market) nexus of business and politics. His close friend and business partner Governor-elect Terry McAuliffe (D., Va.) is one of them; he also backs comprehensive reform. Opponents such as Sessions have cried foul. “
WOW. All you need to know about Haley.
“Republicans need to start addressing the insecurities of the poor and middle-class, and convince them that conservatism holds the solutions,” says a senior GOP aide.”
Haven’t they heard, the GOPe isn’t interested in conservatism anymore.
Taking on crony capitalism is the only path to conservative victory. The only people not for it are the politicians that are essentially taking bribes and the fascists. Neither will ever support conservative values and policies.
No corporation that is not fully owned by American citizens should be allowed to participate in US elections in any manner. What we have now is a government that is run by politicians who are bought by foreigners.
This documents the final shift of the hands-across-the-aisle GOP away from the "Party of Main Street," to the Democrat-co-opted "Party of Wall Street," and of course, its impending death. The only thing keeping the GOP alive today is the fear of a complete Democrat takeover while a new party organizes to represent the average "true American."
Note to GOP:
Yep. Very true. They ALWAYS side with those interests, even when it is to the clear detriment of the majority of Americans.
Obama’s peeps figured this out and used it very effectively to skewer Mitt Romney.
“Cozy with big business” in my mind translates to what amounts to bribery. Political donations in return for favors granted.
One way to reduce that would be to make all political donations ANONYMOUS. Politicians can’t sell influence if they don’t know who is buying. Any individual or business should be able to donate to whoever they feel will act in their interest; that’s FREEDOM. But bribery is a crime at both ends.

The problem is Big Government and the concentration of power. If the Federal government did not have far more power than the Founders intended, then being “cozy” with this group or that group would not be a problem.
