Both Democrats and Republicans support big corporations through and through. While some right wingers might pay lip service to the contrary, their support of Republicans who do the exact opposite belie those words.
Yeah, but the difference is that Republicans do not pretend to hate corporations, while doing everything in their power to support them.
Democrats do. *staff edit* Al Gore was running around on his private jet, burning millions of gallons of gas, to go to lectures where he told everyone the gasoline engine was destroying the environment, all while secretly having the US government sell the Elk Hills federal land to an oil company that Al Gore had stock in, thus making him almost a million dollars.
Is there any real wonder why all the big super wealthy CEOs of these major corporations, are generally all left-wingers?
Remember when Obama signed into law, the new regulations on car companies? Who was he surrounded by on all sides? The CEOs and executives of all the big car companies.
If these big regulations and taxes and fines and fees on corporations were really to protect the people, and all the small businesses from the major corporations, why are all the executives and CEOs of these corporations at all the signing ceremonies for these regulations?
It's real simple.
Every regulation, every tax, and every fee, benefits the major corporations. You can't actually make a regulation or tax, that harms the big companies, and not the small businesses and the public.
Why?
Pretend you have a small company. You make a million dollars in revenue.
I am a major international corporation. I make Billions a year.
The government passes a new regulation. The regulation will cost half million a year. They also pass a new tax on corporate income, that will cost half million a year in taxes and fees.
Is that going to bother me? No. I have the money to pay those costs. I make billions. In fact, even if the regulations and taxes could hurt me, I'm an international company. I can move to Canada like Burger King, or Ireland like Seagate.
You? You are out of business. You can't afford to pay for those regulations and taxes and fees.
So you close down, and all your employees are laid off. Now, even with the taxes and regulations, I'm making even more money. Why? You went out of business, so all your customers came to me. Less competition in my market, means I can charge higher prices too.
This is the great scam of the left-wing democrats on the US public. They convince you, that they are going to regulate those evil companies, and put taxes on those evil companies. Then those taxes and regulations drive out all the small businesses, and the major companies are even more wealthy and rich than they were before.
A great example is what happened after the FFC imposed dozens of new regulations on Internet Service Providers, in the name of net neutrality.
All the leftists were running around saying that they were going to stick it to the large ISPs, like Comcast, and Verizon, and AT&T.
Except I knew that the exact opposite would happen. The large ISPs would get even larger, and alternative companies would sell out or close.
What's happened since then? AT&T is buying out spectrum, which bought out Time Warner. Comcast is buying Amblin, Dreamworks, Xfinity Mobile. Verizon bought AOL.
All of the major companies are far larger, and have far less competition than they did prior to the new regulations.
When Republicans are against regulations and taxes, they are actually against creating monopolies of the major companies. When Democrats say they are going to tax and regulate the mega corporations, they are in reality creating defacto monopolies for their wealthy billionaire friends that run those very companies.
If you don't want to harm the public, and support the mega-corporations, and make the super wealthy even more rich... you should never be a Democrat.
