Bad for the power elites.

I'll tell you the difference between big business and big government. Corporations are in business primarily to make money. Lots of money. Big profits. The bigger, the better. And often it doesn't matter if the customer/consumer gets screwed. Big business tends to evolve into monopolies. The little businesses are gobbled up. Or destroyed. So the big guy can thrive. Such as Wal-Mart. And why don't we have little farmers anymore? For the same reason. They've been pushed out by the big agri-businesses. And look at the health insurance industry. Basically, 4 or 5 big corporations that control the entire market. They call the shots. Dictate the rates. What you and I pay. And they calculate into their bottom lines enormous profits. Obscene profits. And they don't hesitate paying their top tier executives outlandish multi-million dollar annual salaries. And they give 'em stock options. Yes, it's pretty much to hell with the common good. And they have the gall to criticize big government for being inefficient and extravagant spenders. They rave against government for bringing socialism into the marketplace. But they don't tell you that would serve the common good. Because that'll be bad for big business. Bad for their profits. Bad for the power elites. --Jim Broede
