No, they won't, and the idea is not to have "negative effects on business," but to stop corporations from using the government to screw over everyone else.

No, I just don't believe that "government" and "screwing everyone" are synonyms.

It's absolutely ironic that countryboy wails about the destruction of "free-market" capitalism, when it was a fairly liberal Democrat that saved capitalism.* *Free-market is not necessarily synonomous with capitalism. The former is compatible with socialism, while the latter is only self-sustaining by corporate wealth and power for a priviliged elite.

We are supposed to be the government, and we are held accountable. Huge multinational corporations? Meh, not so much.

Re: Daily Presidential Tracking Poll.. Down Down Down...
Free-market capitalism is actually an oxymoron. In order to have capitalism, you have to have government intervention in the market on the side of capital formation and against the interests of labor.
When capitalist sympthizers decry interference with the "free market," what they really are objecting to is government interference on the side of labor, against capital. As long as the interference is on the side of capital, in their view it doesn't count as interference. |

As Ive said before, polls are 100% accurate. Everyone in this country agrees exactly with the 1000 people asked over the phone at dinner time.
