Small Business Squashed…Again!
Published by Bob Foster
Well, I see the Supreme Court handed big corporations the golden spoon of political clout by striking down major parts of the McCain/Feingold campaign reform legislation. Now, big money has direct control over who does and who does not get elected.
Remember, it is all about the money, and since it takes millions of dollars to get elected to major office, it is obvious who will be controlling our government. And where does that leave Small Business?…guess!
With lobbyists from K-Street orchestrating the performances of Congress, and big business paying for the players, there is not much left for individuals and small businesses to say.
Sadly, the term “We the People” has become nothing more than fodder for political rhetoric to sooth the anger of the uninformed.

Oh, Bob, first shock then horror then intense anger. Don’t know what can be done but something has to be done. It’s amazing that we thought that we already had too much corporate influence. Now, the courts have set an even more reckless precedence. God help us, for real.

Judith – Over the years I have become somewhat inured to the antics of our government and the courts, but this one really made me angry. I was so angry, I was afraid I was becoming a “tea-bagger,” and then I opened up Tom’s quote today:
Stay angry!
Change the World!
Never give up!
Never give in!
—Tom Peters
I’m sure you received the same quote, but the timing was just perfect for me. Now, all we have to do is figure out how to work to at least change the U.S. government…changing the world will have to wait awhile longer.
Thanks for your comment Judith.
I laughed aloud at your “tea bagger” comment. I had to check myself too!
That’s a great Tom quote!
