Business Cooperation with the Obama Administration

E-mail to Congress:
EIN News says, "U.S. Health Care Overhaul Divides Business and Its Traditional GOP Allies. Business is parting from its traditional allies in the Republican Party on health care as companies and big corporate lobbyists lend tentative support to a congressional overhaul that conservative lawmakers staunchly oppose. The rift mirrors a similar divide on other issues, including immigration and climate change, where many companies have backed legislative action that Republican lawmakers oppose. (wsj.com)".


This is bad news for "liberty". If we take this at face value, business has decided to play ball with the Obama Administration. It is difficult to conceive why business trusts Obama Administration, but apparently it does. Business apparently does not realize that complete government control can mean the eventual demise of private business.

I have no particular objection to the business community deserting the Republican Party on healthcare issues and other matters. The Republicans have in general shown their inability to comprehend anything of significance. Fortunately, we have a Congress, which is hopefully more independent and with greater ability to predicting outcomes of power than is the business community. Please do your best to maintain a non-dictatorship.
