Most businessmen shouldn't be running anything, including their own business. [View all]


With all the talk about Romney being a businessman and better equipped to run this country, I would have to respectfully disagree.

There are businessmen that think like dictators. Somehow, when you enter the door of their "private" business, you give up all rights as a citizen. For the right to trade your labor for a wage, they insist you pee in a cup and they watch your every move with cameras or they listen to your phone conversations because it is their "private' property. They may even ask you for your Facebook password so they can see what type of friends you might have or if you might say something nasty about them.

They have little respect for human rights. Perhaps we shouldn't say "most" businessmen, but many of them have little respect for you or your "so-called rights. It's different and you are supposed to accept that reality if you want to work for the "businessman". And most people, needing the money from their job, acquiesce to the businessman's demands. We don't even question why?

But, myself, I am more inclined to vote against any businessman because I have seen their tactics and their beliefs about "private property", as if it were some type of religious holding, and I don't agree with their tactics or their beliefs. Just my humble opinion.
