Does corporate interests translate to political interests in the United States?

Answer 1

Most people are not self employed.... so.... If you're employed, thank a corporation...

Answer 2

You need to go back to school and take more grammar lessons. Your question is a bit confusing, but if you are asking if corporate interests affect politics in the US, the answer is quite obviously yes, without a doubt. The Bush squad of corporate cronies is a very good example, if not the quintessential example of corporate decision-making coming directly from the White House. Bush and his ilk pander directly to the military-industrial complex with closed bidding on most important contracts and virtually no accountability for unethical and immoral actions commit ed in the name of the United States of America and its citizens. If this isn't blatantly obvious to you perhaps you need to open your eyes a little wider and read between the lines more often.

Answer 3

Almost completely, but not quite. Used to be that c.e.o.s would buy politicians and tell them what to do. Now more and more politicians are also c.e.o.s (or at least board members). It's been a long time since corporations have had so much freedom and so little oversight and regulation, much like the Executive branch of our government. There's still the sticky problem of the votes of the poor, but the powers that be are getting better at negating that factor.

Answer 4

Not always. Some politician want to ban tobacco, hardly an interest of corporate interest, some want to restrict automobile use, ditto, regulate health care, ditto, implement a wind fall profit tax, ditto, reduce private property rights, ditto, stifle free speech, ditto. I could go on and on. Thankfully there is a Conservative movement that works against those anti-progress ideas.

Answer 5

That was horrible english, but the answer is yes. Lobbyists tie the two together - companies finance politicians via thier lobby, who in turn support the corporate interests politically.

Isn't that disgusting?

Answer 6

If corporate America fails and big businesses close, who looses?

Answer 7

Do fish swim?

Of course they do, just as in any country. The problem in the US today is that, while some of that is inevitable, its gone entirely too far.

Answer 8

It does. As it does in the rest of the world.

Answer 9

I don't see any evidence of the contrary...
