CEO's, CFO's and Politicians

[fng]

This is no rant in particular to any politicians or CEO, but has anyone ever noticed that the United States tends to hold onto the same schit political figures and their families, and corporations tend to hold onto the same family of crap buisnessmen for CEO or President positions ????

If it was talent and ability, why don't Nobel Laureates pass their "Nobelness" onto their kids..........



HMMMM, makes one wonder, don't it. ....

"The business of the United States is business.. " -- Or incest...........

Its interesting in that alot of the 'political' families get alot of their cash and support from 'business' families. In most cases its companies that have turned toward liberal leanings that are helping the generational liberal politicians.


I have a theory on this.
The only thing that can hurt a big bloated company that continues to turn out shoddier and more expensive products year after year is a legitimate competitor. Liberal politicians espouse stronger environmental laws along with more socialist nonmonetary forms of compensation. The big corporations back the liberal candidates knowing full well that these candidates will make business more expensive to operate. Increasing environmental controls will hurt the pocketbooks of large corporations somewhat, but will absolutely kill businesses that are new and growing. Result- no new companies to challenge the big old companies, big companies stay in business, and send more money to elect more socialists to office. If these socialists come from a family that has been a reliable puppet for the corporation in the past, all the better. In order to sustain profits, cheaper labor is found in Mexico and China.

Excellent synopsis. But you realize that saying such things makes you a "liberal" as opposed to a conservative......

Here is a very poignant passage of yours that a local company is pushing through:

Increasing environmental controls will hurt the pocketbooks of large corporations somewhat, but will absolutely kill businesses that are new and growing. Result- no new companies to challenge the big old companies, big companies stay in business

The infamous Harley-Davidson corporation is actually in bed with the EPA and constantly pushes for stricter and stricter emissions standards for motorcycles.. Why you might ask?

Because they are large enough to absorb the R&D costs, thus pushing any competitor out of business !!!!

The conclusion that I draw is the most "republicans" are actually oligargist libertine fascists !!!

Democraps are just loons.

Why would that make me a liberal?
I oppose the entire socialist/environmental agenda.
I do not condone any of the actions that I wrote about in my last post.

Why would that make me a liberal?

That is tag you would get from a RINO as opposed to a true conservative.

That's what I meant.

[fng]

ie: an erroneous tag.
