We could change 'president' to 'CEO'. Outsource the job to Halliburton or Northrup Grumman. The CEO would have more political capital to get things done their way. We wouldn't need voters per se, the companies share holders could decide who leads the country, U.S. citizens, as 'customers' wouldn't need a say in the business end of country affairs, it would be a less stress non-voting relationship. In the dollar I trust...........

i hope that this is a joke?, or it is the most asinine thing that i have ever heard of.
to be treated as a non-voting share holder is the same as being treated as an employee and what do companies do to increase their bottom line..... lay off their work force,cut back on labor costs.
what is best for the co.usually means what is best for upper management, that is why c.e.o's make 500 times more than the average employee.
who is to be the group of "citizen employees" that will be jettisoned for the betterment of the co.?
i,for one, would not want that choice to be made by some alpha ego who would more than likely be making it with his bottom line in mind and not mine

This country has been pretty much controlled by large corp. since they started to exist. How do you think the Rail Roads got built?? Big railroad companies using the Government to get its way.
The government basically thinks we are their servants!! I would much rather be a customer!

I would rather just eliminate the government and permit legitimate security firms to take its place. I don't want to give the government over to corporatist firms such as Halliburton or Blackwater, however I would like to privatize all of the government's (useful) assets and of course eliminate the junk (such as the IRS). However, I would be absolutely against giving control of the government to one of those corporatist firms.

The Govt already has done that. They privatized themselves after removing Nixon. Now they work for a different group and control us according to their bosses demands. Kennedy was killed for trying to expose them. Nixon was set up for not giving in to them. And Carter became honest and was rendered ineffective. The rest have been pre ordained to serve global groups best interest.

You must really love corruption. Our country could be as well run as Enron, Halliburton, Blackwater...

what do you mean by 'could be run as well as Enron', etc (below)?
With Dubya, it is not being run at all.
