......It appears you will support any form of government as long as it is good for corporate stockholders.....

That trick won't work. There is a difference between corporations that follow the law and those that succomb to corruption enabled by government.

Ken Lay is in jail. Clinton is still free. Crime does pay.

I don't believe Loral broke any laws. The transfer was legal under the mechanizations of the Clinton White House.
If you are building your case on a foundation of legality rather than the welfare of the nation, you are lost.
Remember Tom Daschle's wife, a lobbist for Boeing. With little Tom's assistance, Boeing was going to lease new tankers to the Air Force instead of an outright purchase of the aircraft as the Air Force wanted. Now that was a plumb for Boeing stockholders.
I believe the lease arrangement was going to cost the Air Force,(U.S. taxpayer) billions of dollars more, than would have a purchase of the craft.
You were in support of the scheme because it was good for the stockholders and legal.
Simply because a corporation operates within a legal framework doesn't mean it isn't harming the United States by its conduct.
