The Republicans do not lick finance’s boots. They own the boots and expect all of us to do the licking. All grovel to Mammon at the Temple of Greed. Profits are the Sacred Tears of Mammon and business will destroy anything that gets in the way of making as much as possible. There is NO morality in business only the command to profit or die.
What is good for business is not good for either the economy or the afflicted populous. You right wingers complain about welfare but cheer when the worldwide oil cartel raises prices 30% to help BP recover its recent losses. Talk about welfare fraud.
I get it. You were pro Wall Street bailouts and are all for elections being bought by corporations, You are not alone. There are many here that condone the path to oligarchy that this nation is on. Democracy was just an experiment and a relatively new one in the scheme of things... it's failing miserably because of people such as yourself that have bought into the radical right rhetoric, distortions and out and out lying propagnda.
Nonsense. When have I ever supported the bailout? If I did, I could no longer consider myself a capitalist. Perhaps it is our own regulatory climate that you support that allows for such "oligarchs" to come about.

So what do you want to do? Levy higher corporate taxes? Great, now you've just gave them more of an incentive to move overseas! Put yourself in their shoes for a second. If you're looking to invest, are you going to do so when you could lose your shirt or when you have some guaranteed return?
Keep in mind that if you do support higher corporate taxes, it ultimately gets passed onto the consumer.

Just look at the stock market, it's soaring, massive profits for big corporations but the average american is struggling, just the way they want it.
Fascists? Really? Do you even know what the definition of fascism means? I don't think the tea party is emboldened as a collective in any sense of the word.
And again, your statement suggests that you want to seize corporate profits, which would be a kind of fascism in itself.

That's because they are interchangeable. Regardless of how much altrustic sugar-coating socialists and communists give to their movements, they both end up using the state to achive their ends. Economic nationalization and collectivism were movements that were upheld in Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and in the Soviet Union. All of them are anti-capitalist in one form or another.
Didn't take too long for Republicans to ravenously start licking the boots of corporations
Better the boots of corporations than the butts of progressive socialists.
