You don’t understand much about business do you? You have to deal with a lot of people, people you even abhor and smile while you do it. If you want to succeed in life you have to just grin and bear it.
I think it is a liberal worldview that businessmen must be corrupt and self-serving.
I’ve been in business all my life and politics for much of it. I’ve known and dealt with many heavy-hitters in political contributions.
Those I know have integrity: their personal, business and political lives are integrated. They don’t see a difference between what is right for the country and what is right for themselves. They do not violate their principles for personal or business gain. They fight against those with values they don’t support. Always.
To do otherwise is corruption and lack of integrity.
Why would you disagree with this basic and obvious point?
