GOVERNMENT IS NOT A CORPORATION AND NOT RUN LIKE ONE. THE MEDIA has refused to challenge Romney s false assumption thatas former businessman he is best suited to run America sgovernment than a President with no business background. Yet, thereis little evidence to support Romney s assumption, and thecompromised media still happily go along. While some businessmenhave done well as President, there is little to support the notionthat businessmen generally make the best Presidents. Bush, andespecially Cheney, had ample business experience. Look what messthey made in office: they ran a buoyant, surplus-rich economy intothe ground triggering the near collapse of the US and worldeconomy! On the other hand, Bill Clinton (no business experience)before them took the country to the path of robust prosperity. Often, businessmen when they happen to become Presidents, tend tofollow a model in which they increase their personal tax advantage,sell off chunks of major government assets to the private sector atbargain prices (usually to their supporters), lay off a lot ofpeople (who then become wards of the state) and squander thenation s advantage in foreign adventurism in hope fostering animage of strength in international politics. This is an old trick.During pre-colonial era in Africa, leaders of major cosmopolitanEuropean powers sat in a room to give themselves territories theynever visited or known well. That is how businessmen do things.Again, look at the mess they made in Africa and Asia. Government is not a corporation, and should never be run as one.Business is all about profit; government is about the common good!Therefore, there are many things government do that business is notsuited or willing to do. Partly for that reason, we do not electour President based on the economy alone (a self-serving mantra forRomney and many Republicans). We also want a President that hascharacter, empathy, one that cares about the rights and sufferingof others. Washington Post Moraniss reveals in his biographicalinstallments on Obama and Romney that even as a Mormon preacher inParis, Romney was unable to connect with people and made fewconverts. We want a President that is smart about foreign policy.We want a President that we can trust, not one who istrigger-happy. We want a President that cares about all the peoplenot just a few (Romney, without equivocation, embraces the RyanBudget, a budget that cuddles the rich and persecutes the poor andmiddle class). Romney and Ryan pity the rich and powerful and forgot the dying birds. We want a President that tells thetruth not lie when it is convenient. While we believe thatcorporations are not people, we as well believe that a Presidentshould not run government like a corporation, or the people suffer! Dr. Sam of CA 9:32AM May 15, 2012.
