Remember how Jesse Jackson would shake down companies for cash for his projects? Do you really think most of those companies were backing Jackson's brand of ‘civil rights’ or that they didn't want to fight him and Jackson's white liberal elite ‘friends’ in the press?
If you guessed what Jackson was doing was a shakedown you were right.
Businessmen must PAY to get someone to pick up the phone when they call. It's a shakedown. Congress wrote the rules so it would be OK for all sorts of ways for companies and countries to give them money.
It's one of the reforms Trump is running on... Trump KNOWS how politicians get bought - BECAUSE HE'S BOUGHT SOME... That's why he won't accept money from large donors... he 'gets' what's going on....
This would be called "cowardice."
We know from history that boards of directors usually capitulate.
In this case we know exactly who capitulated, over and over, for 20 years.
