1. It's a concerted effort. It's their way of telling us not to vote for another Black person
for president again (because they cain't get nuthin' good done), and to boost the narrative that "Big Gov't isn't the solution but the problem".
Corporate America have few fears, but one big one is the Federal Gov't itself. It is the only entity with the unlimited resources and power to curb their greed and even take them down piece by piece.
Because despite the money most Democrats get to run for office from these corporations, the two Parties are still very different. The sums that the Democratic Party receives from Corporate America pale in comparison to the money Republicans get. Democrats do have a Party platform Corporate America does not like: Democrats fight for policies that benefit the majority of American people - from the poorest to the wealthiest - as opposed to the policies of the AlwaysWrongRight that fight for and benefit exclusively Corporate America.
I really don't understand why you DUmmies just can't step back do a little research and look at things objectively for just one time in your life.
Big Gov't ****s up everything they touch. They are inefficient and blotted with bureaucracy all while short circuiting the free market.
-Amtrack has not ever had a positive budget and is over a Billion in debt. I pulled their 2013 budget and have never seen so many negatives in a budget.
Amtrak Budget-USPS After running modest profits from FY2004 through FY2006, the USPS lost $25.4 billion between FY2007 and FY2011.
USPS Financial Difficulties-Military, even though we need it it is such a mess of of bureaucracy and a black hole for money. See the $640 toliet seats and $7500 coffee makers that the POGO uncovered in the 80's.
There are many more but I think you DUmmies should get the point.
