The interests and objectives of business is profit, not politics. The free market economy is blind to politics. It is the voluntary cooperation of people agreeing to buy and sell for their own best interests.

The self interests and objectives of government is power and money, similar to the free market with one MAJOR difference. The free market is run by VOLUNTARY COOPERATION whereas government runs by FORCE AND COERCION. Governmental self interest is blind to non-governmental, individual self interest and couldn’t care less about it. On the other hand, the free market runs on voluntary cooperation based on individual self interest - it wouldn’t exist if it ignored individual self interest.

Trump was doing his job hobnobbing with the Clintons and anyone and everyone else in the interests of building tremendous profits for a great and successful business. Nothing wrong with that. All voluntary cooperation in the interests of each party. It is how wealth is created.

Trump is now embarked on a completely different venture - politics and government. It is no longer about Trump and his business, but about serving YOU and YOUR interests AGAINST governmental self interest. The Clintons may have been fine in the voluntary cooperation of buying and selling in the personal interests in the business world, but they are deadly in the forced and coercive interests of government against the American people.

You’ve got to see the important distinctions of the dynamics and results between the free market economy versus government. And when it comes to government, the difference between those who want to reinstate the Rule of Law of the Constitution which LIMITS government FORCING GOVERNMENT to SERVE you against its own self interest, versus the other way around - those who want no limits on government and instead love tyranny at the expense of your freedom and happiness.

In theory and never in practice. Never has been. Impossible to separate politics and economics.

All of your freedoms, economic and otherwise, end 12 miles off the coast. As it should be.

Thank you so much for your thoughful and respectful reply, (instead of a hateful insult to me for asking a question as so many freepers have shockingly done whenever I have not immediately jumped onto the Trump bandwagon).

As I said, I do intend to vote for Trump simply because we DO KNOW Hillary is the Devil and must NEVER be allowed to control this country. She’s done enough damage.
