Think about that for a minute.. The large businesses and multi-national corporations the GOP lauds and holds up as examples of success and risk taking and entrepreneurship actually function just like the liberals the GOP claims to despise..

A truly poor guy wants a handout? Hey, fuck that guy! Socialism!!!! Right?

I mean, we generally agree that this man should get a job if he is able, and pay his own way.. That it's proper and good for him to do this.. That he has a responsibility to get a job and work if he is able.. Correct?

That this is necessary from an economic standpoint (Because, after all, someone has to work and pull the cart.. Sitting in it isn't fair if you're capable of pulling and helping) Also, we agree that it's good for American society.. Lest we lapse into an entitlement mentality, and lose the motivation to work and excel..

So we all agree here? Good!

Now consider the Mega Corp.. Unlike this poor guy, they will use their own profits to secure more profits. They'll cut deals. They'll work to shift the regulatory environment in their favor. They'll pollute, they'll collude.. Basically, they'll do anything for a buck today. Especially a government buck! Because they have a printing press! So the bucks never stop.. In the absence of gov bucks and contracts, they'll just get government to pass a law saying we have to hand them OUR BUCKS.. (Which a Republican Justice just upheld!!) They've tried very hard to sell us all into carbon, and other forms, of slavery... and they've done all of this happily.

I mean, let's just be honest.. If the Federal fucking Government wanted to head chip us all tomorrow, they'd bid on the contract with ZERO concern for the good of society, the rule of law or anything else..

So, why is it that companies like GE are never targeted by the republicans when they arrive in power?

Because, unlike the poor guy above, they've got money to donate to campaigns.

So, let's drop this worship of big business. When it comes to begging for handouts, they act more like liberals (and are more effective at it) than poor liberals themselves.

They aren't protectors of liberty.. All too often, they aren't testaments to the power of anything but corruption.

Once they grow so large, they behave just like liberals.. And I hate that.

There should be some retribution here..
