If rich men buy the election, they will rule over all Americans. Running a large corp does not equal running the USA.

I feel, that running a mid size city, like one of more than 100k, prepares one more of running a federal branch of government, than running a Fortune 500 company.
I'd say the same thing if a Democrat was running for POTUS, but, in the last 10 years, there really hasn't been one, that has made their mark in a private business.
Granted, I know that Romney was Mass. Governor, however, he talks a lot more about his private business experience, than he does, about his public office experience on the campaign trail.

At one time, they were much different aspects of leading.
Now, in our deeper and deeper fascist society we have let them weave, they are becoming the only way to run a fascist society.
As we can see, Obama had no clue what he was getting into. The machine needs to be fed. |

A whole lot! What's your point some sort of partisan pissing match? But if you want to compare WW2 to Vietnam or Iraq 2.0 be my guest.

How anybody can say that after the 2008 collapse of the financial industry just... staggers the mind. |

There's a small bit of difference between "for profit" and "not for profit".
They're inherently different beasts.
