The only thing I would quibble with of your assessment....is that I don’t think it was the businesses who co-opted the government - I think the government grew so damned big, powerful and intrusive, that businesses were just in the self defense business - which has now bloomed into full fledged crony capitalism.
BUT...the first step in the process, by definition and logic, is out of control government.

Or ruling class making up s*(# for the peon class as they go.
Whoever you are, you are not fit to shine his shoes.
However, I will still shine my own shoes....and I do a good job of it too.
Oh, I forgot....I’ve joined the ranks of the semi-retired after building a very successful business over the last 40 years and I don’t have to wear leather shoes any more.
Are you fit to shine shoes? Have you made something of yourself in life.....other than an employee?
You are correct. However, give money to THEM.....NOT THE PARTY!
You are correct: Jeff is a good choice but wait until we know all who will be running. The worst thing we can get to run on the ticket would be a member of the establishment and worse than that, waste our money on a candidate that is simply a “puppet” of the Republican/Democrat party.
BRAVO! Clap, clap, clap.....you are correct and have hit the “nail right on its head.”
Well since I compared you to him, I’ll just tell you that yes, he’s a very successful person in the field of high finance and investments - and while I don’t know, I would think he is probably now independently wealthy.
But the key point is, you totally embarrassed yourself on how inaccurate your comments towards him are. You could not be more wrong, tho I suppose you are that wrong a lot.
As for me, I am semi retired, letting a company I built pay me a dividend every month, along with a pair of executive homes we own and rent out for big dollars. I also get paid to write, speak, etc, in my free time.
“The problem was NOT that too many people voted for the GOP, it’s that too many people did NOT.”
WELL! Isn’t that one of the most intelligent statements ever espoused!
So, not enough people voted for the GOP candidates? Ronald Reagan had no problem getting the votes...did he? I wonder why? Oh! I think I have it.........they seemed to have this strange feeling come over them that he was the genuine article and not a shill for the party.
Yep! That was the key! And, guess what.......? THEY WERE RIGHT! The people voted for the MAN.....NOT THE PARTY and we got the best president in history.
IT’s a sure sign you’re losing an argument when you have to take the other side out of context to pathetically try and make your point. In the context I wrote that, it was brilliant, pithy, applicable and fully refuted the statement I was referring to.
When you take it out of context, it can be demagogued. Losers do that.
Yeah, that too.
