I do not see a problem with a prior (private) CEO being in a public office. At all. I have much more of a problem with career politicians! The United States is a company, is essence, and it will only survive if we treat it as one, in this "global economy". I DO agree that corporations steer policy making, and that is wrong. But again, you cannot govern morals! Close those loopholes, for lack of better word, to disallow any company from being able to sway politicians! Since the 1950\'s, people have been predicting that America would move into corporate socialism, and I think they were right. But the blame should lay solely on the Governments back, for allowing it to happen. Just my opinion, I\'d love to hear others thoughts. Quote:

I won\'t demonize anyone for making money, turning a profit, etc. but we have to put an end to favoritism when it comes time to pay your dues. if I have to contribute part of my income to the government, there should be no reason a large corporation gets any breaks. \r\n \r\n | \r\n
