Well, I follow the markets closely and have for about 16 years...
Public corporations are having to pay huge fines to the SEC for what I term to be regulatory shakedowns, used to fund the government as you would use a tax. Obama is going where the money is to extract everything the government can get. He’s killed the big banks and has been moving to multinational corporations and financial services.
Yeah....they are concerned, and many of the multinationals are being forced out of China due to their regulatory shakedowns, so they need the US to make ends meet and the US economy is still lying in the ditch due to Obama policies.
I think they are individually and as groups, trying to schmooze the GOP in this cycle where previously they split their donations to both parties. Wall street, who usually support democrats has also come back into the GOP fold to try and mitigate the damages Obama has caused to them and they don’t want it happening again.
If it were not for continuous easy money from the FED, wall street would still be a smoking hole in the ground and banks would still be failing.
Unfortunately, the FED’s balance sheet is loaded, and they cannot save our financial system for much longer without endangering the entire system.
It’s possible, and I have said this publically, that it may already be too late to stop a catastrophic cascade failure of the entire system.
So yes.....they are afraid...
Usually what brings the world away from the brink of disaster is another type of disaster and that is a wide spread war.
Corporations are also in fear of that as well, and Obama is scaring the pants off them with his foreign policy ineptitude.
Knowing all this, what would you do...?
You cannot let anyone know that you are backing the republicans exclusively, so you make it appear that everything is the same as it was.
But privately and through K street lobbyists, they are promising the funds the GOP needs for this election and elections to come.
The GOP is now in the corporate boardroom in a much bigger way as the DNC is finding the door harder to get through. But again, you can’t let anyone know this...
So nobody really sees it happening...except for a few..
This is why the GOP is ignoring us and will continue to do so.
While I understand your comments and don’t necessarily disagree with you, those corporate folks don’t vote in sufficient numbers to carry the day.
The RP hasn’t had a good solid victory since 1988. At some point it’s going to have to pull it’s head out and smell something different.
More and more people are fed up with the R.P.
It’s just a fact. There’s what I’d term a 75% chance I won’t vote for the R.P. choice in 2016.
I’ve seen what a RINO can do to us, and I’m just not in the mood to help them screw us like they did from 2001 to 2009.
If they want my vote, it’s more than clear what they have to do.
If the nation’s going down, I don’t have to have been an enabler. I’m done with politics as normal.
