It's called the lawmaking process and it's why we have a 535 member Legislative branch.

“The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.”

One thing that does have an influence? Money. While the opinions of the bottom 90% of income earners in America have a “statistically non-significant impact,” economic elites, business interests, and people who can afford lobbyists still carry major influence.


They claim to be super-patriots but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously they may keep the common man in eternal subjection." VP Wallace on Fascism 1944

If hsi prices are severely undercut becsue of that he will have some hard choices to make.

The business world is highly competitive and if your competition has the advantage of cheaper labor you really don't have much choice.
It is cheaper because the workers are under Communism.

What are workers rights are Capitalism - many.
What are workers rights under Communism - 0

Unions are outlawed in China.

We should not even be trading with China until the workers have the same rights as workers in developed countries under Capitalism.

United Way? I am confused....isn't that a charity? Not sure what you are talking about?


FYI...corporate political donations are nearly 50/50 divided between the parties. Union are nearly 95% democrats.
