Either way it sucks.

But it does seem to me that common sense would dictate that if the govt. (you know the ones who actually make all these laws that control everything) were being run by "big corporations" ...then wouldn't the economy be roaring right now?

Seems to me it would be. That way the "big corporations" would make even more money because consumer spending would be through the roof.

Instead we have the highest corporate tax in the world and pretty much drive them out of the country (God knows if I owned the big cigarette companies I would pull out of the Carolinas and Virginia tomorrow and move the whole operation to South America and tell the U.S. to "fuck off" for all the things the govt. has done to destroy their business).

Seems like if "big corporations" were running the govt., things would be a lot better. lol
Not saying the govt. doesn't panic like they did with the bailouts. But don't forget...when the govt. bailed out the car companies and banks, they practically took them OVER.

Hell, the President actually demanded and got the resignation of the head of GM and then appointed HIS choice for the job!
Is the tail wagging the dog or vice-versa?
