I'll simply repeat what I wrote to John: "Businessmen would love to go on about their business without interference from the pols, but since the pols have their fingers in every pie businessmen have no choice but to suck up to them. It was never intended to be that way in the U.S., but over the years the pols promised more and more cake and cookies to the masses, the masses sucked it up and so today you have millions feeding at and dependent upon the public trough with businessmen bearing the load. Suggest you read Orwell's "Animal Farm" to get a picture of what's really going on."
