We need to start making the distinction between “businesses” and “corporations”.
Large, national corporations and Wall Street benefit from the current system, because they have the clout to pull strings in Washington to make the system work to their benefit.
Businesses are hurt by the current system, that tilts the playing field towards corporations.
Businesses love the tea party. Corporations don’t.
Large corporations and Wall Street are not true capitalists...they practice crony capitalism at the expense of the average American.
You're exactly right! Businesses give power to the individual - corporations take that power away.
Distinctions need to be made between corporations that ‘create value’ and those that ‘capture value’.
Our economy needs to return to a more dynamic, flexible, and competitive environment.
I think a good first step would be for more ‘Free Access’ for businesses. Too many businesses seek legislation to ensure their survival by punishing their competition. We need more businesses NOW.
Hammer on nail head
I cater strictly to small business and most are way too busy to be informed as I am about politics and the TEA party impact, but I can tell you most are far more optimistic about their future knowing DC is about to be stood on it's head. Tea Party is a big reason for that
Pity we can’t recruit hippies with that philosophy. We might end up getting more people from more walks of life than we anticipate.
