Crooked big business practices, what a shock!

The Gov. has a 24/7 think tank just to come up with these same ideas.
While I was reading that Obummercare screw job, I noticed them referring to the Gov as The Corporation.

Yet another link that you probably shouldn't pay any attention to.

"ThinkProgress has learned that a law firm representing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the big business trade association representing ExxonMobil, AIG, and other major international corporations."


I find this into very interesting.

Our local chamber represents our local businesses.

These type of smear tactics represent a complete disregard for all the work the chamber does to promote local, small business owners.


This is another example of the lefts tried and true propaganda tactics by linking someone that doesn't toe the leftist line into being in bed with big business. I am really surprised that Enron and Halliburton didn't appear somewhere in this article.

It's pathetic.

I don't think that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has any real connection with the local Chambers of Commerce. It certainly doesn't seem to have an interest in Small Business. Since Citizens United, I think it has come to be little more than the chief lobbyist for the Corporatist wing of the the GOP. But then, it's hard to tell to what extent, given that there is no disclosure required about election political funding.

I think... Without proof you then state it as though it is a fact...

Yet from the other side comes 'I think... Unions fund the Dems'...

so the uninformed then are left with the impression that Unions fund one half of the two party system and Corporations fund the other...

this is so far from the truth.

the truth is that POLITICIANS will take money from where ever it comes...

As long as they can keep liberals fighting conservatives and conservatives fighting liberals...

they will keep their illgotton gains and their positions of manipulation...

And we will all continue to be bilked.

A heads up. When I say, "I think", this is my way of indicating that the following is an opinion. This is by definition. I don't know what you are accusing me of mis-representing as fact.
