Governments run like business.

It doesn't work for anyone but the rich.
The reason that the minimum wage is low, yet there isn't a maximum wage. Those in power(govt and business) set the wage scale and the pay scale, unfairly. That's capitalism.

The problem with all of the Repub ideas is that they put riches and profit ahead of the nation and the greater good.
The republican party platform stands against everything our forefathers stood for.IMHO.
