In reply to the discussion: Kansas Doctor Under Attack For Not Forcing Ten Year Old Rape Victim To Give Birth [View all]newspeak
(4,847 posts)167. the republican party does not represent your business interests
if it is at the expense and health of the people. also, enron screwed their employees-401k is a great concept if its' honest and does not screw the employees while enriching others. without regulation all you have is a bunch of corrupt con artists bilking money and labor-money from those who have toiled their whole lives. when i hear of a new business concept, i get leery, it seems as an old business concept introduced in the 1890s. i remember the eighties, no more loyalty to companies, all americans were going to be in demand, they can pick and chose where they want to work. what a fekkin joke!!!!!
but the repug party is more than willing to police and inact policies to control individuals, but not policies to control corporations.
