Marriage of Goverment and COVFEFE

I don't care if it was Clinton or Donald. BOTH are dirty dancing with Corporations that care nothing about the people and everything about their own greed.

One is not going to be bad as the Naysayers declare nor as great as the Yea-sayers cry out. The Electoral College has spoken - Drumpf is the President for better or worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health until election (or impeachment) do we part.

There is anticipation by the Yea-sayers who are of the opinion that a Business Man in the Oval Office will support businesses that the rich to get richer but the poor will also get richer. Ideal Capitalism is about responsible growth.

There is also the case for government interference in favor of Big Business at the expense of the Little Guy such as supporting Monsanto patenting living things like corn, being reckless in how their seed is transported, and suing farmers for their seed being blown out of the truck and germinating on their farm. 

I was recently in Washington talking to Senators about Abuses of Power and Law by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Private land is seized by Eminent Domain to build pipelines to carry fossil fuels for EXPORT!!! This is at the expense of small businesses, the environment, and the economy.

Ideally, Businesses should be able to regulate themselves responsible and care about the people and communities where they reside. Sadly, many of them only care about profit, pay the workers unlivable wages and pollute everything. Government supports their greed versus the people who elected them into office.

Check and Balances are on the Agenda!!!

Ideally, you are correct, but we are definitely not living in an ideal world. Greed and corruption permeates everywhere, persons, businesses and government.
Finding someone who is not like that is like a breath of fresh air...... the problem is if they are in government, they won't last long because they won't be able to accomplish much, and if they can't, they won't be re-elected.
Occasionally, a business is found that is not that way either...... such is one where one of my sons, a son in law, and two grandsons work. The brothers who founded it were fed up with the crap where they worked and struck out on their own. They treat their employees quite well and fairly. The starting wages are not the highest in the area, and everyone starts off the same, (welders and custodians) but they pay FAMILY medical insurance for the employees, numerous paid days off, bonuses, offer plenty of overtime, and give generous merit raises.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
