How is handicapping businesses with excessive regulations "free market?"

I'll refer you to the Business Roundtable's letter to Obama Admin OMB Director Orszag:

Do Democrats have an interest in keeping Americans on welfare / government programs?




Of course, they do. That is their base. They are going to vote for the party that gives them handouts.

Ahhh so THATS why so many corporatists love Republicans

Seriously, its more complex then that, you're feeding a stereotype that really doesn't have a ton of truth behind it.

I thought we were talking about Clinton and nafta? Or we still stuck on generalizations?

Tell you what, why don't you work hard and gain some skills and quit expecting people and companies to "give" you something.

Look only to Hillary to see the disdain the people you vote for have towards the poor. She could give a rats ass whether the poor live or die as long as they vote for her.

Clinton plans to raise $2 billion for her campaign, however I doubt she will fight that hard once/if she is elected to keep her promises, well maybe she will work hard to keep her promises to her donors.

Sanders actually wants to help the poor and middle class. I've been watching his videos on youtube and I really believe his heart is in the right place. I don't agree with a lot he says because I think he goes too far left, but I respect him.
