I come from a long, long line of people who run and have owned their own businesses. Not mega-businesses, but the kinds of small businesses that employ MOST Americans. Only the VERY STUPIDEST or THE MOST CROOKED AMONG THEM give money to politicians that work against their interests. What you think it takes to "run a business" is RATIONALE for knuckling under to those who would destroy ALL OF US.
I can think of a lot of people who run businesses and know how to run them who would gladly kick you in the ass for such stupid and self-serving rationlization, as it's jelly-spined "pragmatic" businessmen like those you think are merely "doing what a businessman has to do" and roll over to the likes of Jackson and political power players who do so MAKING EVERY ONE ELSE PAY THE REAL PRICE.
Your "business" philosophy is that of a mere tool. Your "business" philosophy guarantees the continuation of the Jacksons and corrupt political machines of this world. In short, what you call "business savvy" is in truth, cowardice.
Yes I do know, but do YOU know, an honest question???
