I’m a bit skeptical about tossing out the term crony corporations. The way it is used around here, every corporation seems to be a vile entity to some people.

I disagree with outsourcing and bringing in foreign workers, but I don’t necessarily see the corporations that take part in these things to necessarily be crony corporations.

The problem for me is that the Left was the traditional trasher of big business and corporations. Now our side does it with glee.

Are we a capitalist nation or not. If not, I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere along the line.

" Let me explain to you how this works: you see, the corporations finance Team America, and then Team America goes out... and the corporations sit there in their... in their corporation buildings, and... and, and see, they're all corporation-y... and they make money."

I have something to say about crony corporations.

I want one asshat liberal to tell me how that damn phone even works, let alone how the battery inside functions.

Clueless.

If corporations are engaged with the government, they are cronies and anti-free-market (I do not like the term “capitalist” since it is socialist pejorative for a free market).

“I’m a bit skeptical about tossing out the term crony corporations. The way it is used around here, every corporation seems to be a vile entity to some people.”

Not at all. But you had better look at the richest corporations currently in the USA. They are doctrinaire leftist run.

Google

Apple

Microsoft

Yahoo

Now take a look at the 35 richest individuals in the Forbes 400. All but 2 of them are on the left. Things have changed profoundly in the past 25 years.
