Big government always ties business up in court - costing them money, blackmailing them, showing favoritism, raising taxes and driving jobs out of the country.
Free market capitalism must crawl hat-in-hand up Capital Hill and kiss their rings so they can be safe for just a little bit longer - get language inserted in bills and have them pass. There is TOO MUCH government bleeding us dry!
So what to do? Roll over and let it happen or take power and clean up the swamp? Is it taboo for people/business to support a candidate that supports their chance to make a living?
A quote from above article:
It's unclear how many Wall Street executives would risk donating even to a super-PAC allied with a sitting governor. A prohibited contribution for as little as $150 could lead to a two-year ban on doing business in a state.
Crony Capitalism Makes Me Cringe
It’s a spits worth of distance from national socialism.
So, in the end, I side with the Founders and a truly republican form of government and election of chief executive. Then the election of representatives and senators by the original system would go a long way toward restoring this country.
Our constitution is an awesome document. Some of the changes to it have clearly been counter-productive. Income tax gets the government into the tiniest details of our lives. Popular election of senators removes the power of states. Party based election of president invites graft and corruption and abuse of power.
The Founders were very wise Christian men.
