I don’t like businesses that are “too big to fail”, because when they do fail, ultimately the taxpayers are the ones who have to bail them out. That’s why we have anti-trust laws, but apparently our government has completely forgotten about them.
Worst of all, they conspire with Big Government to pick our pockets.
My problem is with business getting in bed with government to hobble the competition or guarantee a profit via the taxpayers.
They got me pissed off right now for their insistence that Congress import slave labor for them and dump the bill on the backs of American taxpayers.
Another problem with Big Business and the Big Banks that own them is that they are more often than not controlled by Globalists and Liberals that have an utter contempt for America and Americans.
Big Business + Government = Fascism
Time for Separation of Government and Business. Too much now government decides who the winners and the losers in the marketplace will be.
It is kind of funny how the article avoids the real issues and concentrates in the petty crap.
We need another Calvin Coolidge.
Americans don’t hate Big Business.
Liberals Hate Big Business!
It is not big business I have a problem with; it is Corporatism and Big Fascism.
I wish we would try capitalism someday.
The railroad is worse.
And .. the other reason Americans hate big business is because the left spends most of its time and energy bad mouthing almost every big business .. except those run by liberal democrats.
I’m not saying all companies are perfect .. but since they employ humans, I suspect there’s a connection there between stupid acts and stupid employees.
big business like big anything, including entities like government, unions, MADD type groups, start off small and want to help people. they are close to failing or just breaking even so they care about their customers. as they get bigger the “leaders” start caring more about their legacy and their perks and less about their customers. the next step is they think they are untouchable and smarter than the mere stupid customers they are suppose to help. they think they are indispensable and too big to fail. at that stage they are corrupt, inefficient and are ONLY concerned with self preservation. they become a life form ie a parasite that sucks the life blood out of everything they touch upon.
it’s like watching a contagious disease start small and spread. big anything is the human equivalent of the 1918 flu pandemic except the flu virus was more honorable because it didn’t know any better.
Big Business and entertainers should do the same thing.
Drop the politics, cut any ties with government and go back to doing what it is you do.
The function of both is to deliver a product or service that people want and are willing to pay for, not to push political ideologies on their clients/customers/fans and engage in incestuous relations with the government.
I thought your bags cannot travel on a flight without you on it? If you’re not on the flight, the bags (supposedly) get taken off.
Most big businesses benefit greatly from making big government even bigger.
