We got BIG TROUBLE in Florida with a capital T. Politics aside, Rick Scott, former CEO of HCA & candidate for FL governor, would not be my choice if he was a Democrat, if he was a progressive Green Party candidate! This is scaring Floridians to death, especially since Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum just endorsed Scott a few days ago, after saying he would NOT endorse this crooked fraud after his bitter GOP nomination race with Rick Scott. Good Lord, I could live with Alex Sink or Bill McCollum, but a corporate crook of one of the largest Medicare fraud crimes in American history, I cannot live with in our great state. Floridians have to wake up and smell the coffee by November 2nd! He must've moved to Florida like so many other criminals do, like OJ.
Liberal taxation and regulation policies/legislation along with labor unions make outsourcing necessary for corporations whose stockholders expect returns on their investments, or do you ignore this inconvenient truth?
Frankly, he's not the only one that's ignorant of truth and reality.

Following diplomatic negotiations dating back to 1986 among the three nations, the leaders met in San Antonio, Texas, on December 17, 1992, to sign NAFTA. U.S. President George H. W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Mexican President Carlos Salinas, each responsible for spearheading and promoting the agreement, ceremonially signed it.
In the U.S., Bush, who had worked to "fast track" the signing prior to the end of his term, ran out of time and had to pass the required ratification and signing into law to incoming president Bill Clinton. Prior to sending it to the United States Senate, Clinton introduced clauses to protect American workers and allay the concerns of many House members. It also required U.S. partners to adhere to environmental practices and regulations similar to its own. The ability to enforce these clauses, especially with Mexico, and with much consideration and emotional discussion the House of Representatives approved NAFTA on November 17, 1993, by a vote of 234 to 200. The agreement's supporters included 132 Republicans and 102 Democrats. NAFTA passed the Senate 61-38. Senate supporters were 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats."
And as for the corporate tax rate, the Rupert party by their own admission had control of the Congress for 12 years from 1994-2006, why the hell didn't they reduce the rate when they had the Presidency and both houses under their control?
"Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.), the chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee (RSC), said that the GOP would take a more aggressive tack toward health reform than they did during their control of Congress from 1995 to 2007."
By the way, mind telling me how unions, who are barely over 7% (probably went down even further due to the recession) of the private sector workforce and less than 40% of the public sector workforce have hurt industry.
"The union membership rate for public sector workers (37.4 percent) was substantially higher than the rate for private industry workers (7.2 percent)."

I believe I asked first. Is Carly Fiorina part of the globalist agenda you state? But you're of course right, stuff like minimum wages, environmental regulations, safe workplaces and child labor laws can really put a dent in profits.
CEO's are also used to being accountable to shareholders and forced to have a bottom line that works or the company suffers. Liberals don't want any CEO to show that the government can be run leaner and more efficiently with a smaller workforce. They don't want American's put back to work or for manufacturing to return because that would undermine the globalist agenda.
CEOs, basically, are dictators of their companies. You want our country run by people with dictator mentalities and persuasion?

You think Obama does not have a dictator mentality? Seriously?
We have a Constitution. Read it sometime and understand the powers enumerated to each branch of government and to the states and people. Demand the Constitution be strictly adhered to and there are no dictators.

CEOs have dictatorship over their companies. Is a dictator mentality what you want to run our government? Yes or No. No need to divert.
I'd take a corporate CEO over a community organizer any day of the week, hands down. At least they know how to be accountable to their shareholders (citizens) and are cognizant of budgets. Governors also typically make good presidents. They understand how state budgets work.
What would this CEO turned government official think about an elderly person needing way more in Medicare benefits than he/she paid in?

Well after watching Arnold (neither a CEO or a Politician) not be able to accomplish anything as a governor, I've become convinced you actually need a politician. Someone with connections to other corrupt politicians. Arnold came in calling people names and trying to intimidate folks, well it just does'nt work, those same folks just vote against everything you want. I think a CEO with thier dictator mentality will have the same problems. With the current state of Goverment, the only effective politician is one with dirt on everybody, a life long crook....that my friends is the state of our Goverment
When all decisions are made based on the "bottom line", we will lose our freedom fast!
So you agree, Obamacare will be a disaster to our freedoms! That is a start.
