Business thrives in a climate of freedom; government thrives in a climate of control. Business people respect hard work and intelligence. Government parasites fear those qualities.

Business in the form of capitalism is the road to freedom and prosperity, government the road to slavery.

Want to vote against a business? Stop doing business with them. Do you think you would you really like it if the government owned Wal-Mart?

hmmmmm. And Wally World and Nike and all the other billion $ businesses do not rely on governments to support their bottom line>
It would be better than Walmart owning the government>>

Another way of looking at it: truly big business manipulates government to maximize their bottom line.
