Not surprising.

They're businessfolk, interested in making money above all things.

Of course they're going to back the person who'd act as their employee in office.

But whether or not that would actually be a good thing for the economy of the United States, and the world as a whole, has yet to be seen.

Remember, the countries that opted for austerity in Europe have double dipped on their recessions, in spite of the profits that are being realized by their companies and firms.

When you neglect the consumer end of the cycle, you end up with economic dysfunction and economic stagnation.

And, that's precisely what you've got going on here, whether you like it or not.

"There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible." - H Ford.

He got it.

And he made a lot of money off of it as well.  With government regulation and investment while the tax system was truly progressive.

And these business folks can't even pull that off when they've got every "advantage" in the book.

Think about it.

Cause you screw yourself over when you don't.

Think about it.

I can understand the complaints about red tape.  But I do not accept the premise that businesses should be detached and allowed to be "inconsequential" to the rest of the world around them, precisely because they never are detached from the rest of the world around them.

There is no such thing as the individual without the collective, as much as there is no collective without the individual.

Think about it.
