Well I know what you're getting at and obviously Republicans are better for corporations if they allow corporations to go about their business of creating a profit, allowing their employees to earn an income and creating a tax base to fund all the pet projects the Dems think we must have. Of course many people think that corporations are evil, and greedy and therefor must be destroyed.

Other than Ron Paul or Mike Gravel, there is no political candidate that would NOT serve the best interests of major corporations if elected. "Republicrats" are beholden to the corporate contributors. They have no regard for "we the people" to whom they are Constitutionally supposed to be subservient. -RKO- 12/20/07
