Amen!
This was one of the shocking things that I learned 40 years ago.
Because of the media, I had come to believe that corporations were conservative and capitalist and pro-business, but during the Nixon administration, I learned that they are against much of what I believed in.
The giants soon learned that government interference and affirmative action, regulation, etc. was protecting them as giants, and burning the ladder behind them to kill the smaller competitors and keep out competition.
DeMint on-target as always. He was born too late...
True dat.
Follow the money.
Not only this angle but many big companies are run by leftists.
And by extension, Steve Forbes was right. Yes his Flat Tax idea was the political equivalent of your daily fish pill. However, the Corporatist as Mark Levin calls them divine a lot of their power and edges via the Tax Code and or Ear Marks etc. Neuter the Tax Code via ultra-simplification and see if K-Street just dries up and goes away. IMHO maybe even Gay Marriage would have never been an issue if the code was more neutral, a long story behind that comment that involves a chance meeting with an originator of the Hawaii effort in the late 90’s that led me to that conclusion.
Bump.
So true
Most large business’s support amnesty of one form or another. I was just talking about this the other day with a friend, (yes I have them).
I have had this conversation with Libs. They hate big business but when I ask “isn’t big government dangerous too.” They respond that with big government they can vote. I say “they voted in the soviet union also”
But they don’t have a thinking camp.................
You get to a certain level of bigness and you become more LIKE a government. I work for a big corp and the red tape and “this is the way it’s done even though it’s stupid” is really horrible, plus they pile on liberal “culture” that’s at times vomit-inducing. I only took the job because I can’t drive in the dark anymore and it’s close to home. I’ll be moving to a nice, small town in a much more conservative state at the end of the year, thank goodness!
This would include big talk radio.
