If Republicans Won’t Be the Party of Business, What Will They Be?

"If the frontier of retail were the internet, Amazon could likely count on long-term dominance. So could Facebook in social media, Google in search, and Apple in smartphones. But the reality is that tomorrow’s entrepreneurs will have “brilliant” added to their descriptions precisely because they’ll rewrite how retail, social media, search, and “phones” are understood altogether. The certain bet here is that these future geniuses will do so by virtue of taking us in directions we never imagined going, and will do so amid great skepticism. Put another way, what’s small today will be big tomorrow by wholly expanding our conception of the known.

Which brings us to Republicans with names like Hawley, Cruz, Lee and others intent on neutering today’s giants a little or a lot. They’ve joined hands with Sens. Klobuchar, Schumer and others. ...

If Republicans are bent on attacking big business, they’ll be putting a bull’s eye on the health of the small. In short, Republican support of Sen. Klobuchar’s bill is indefensible, and it raises a basic question of what Republicans will be if they’re not going to be the Party of business and achievement."

Ken, Biden and the Democrats are waging a war on Capitalism. That’s a fact and they need to be stopped.

I’m really not worried what the Rinos are doing right now as our countries economy is designed around capitalism… that’s how we prosper and grow.

I believe Cruz and Lee and others are more concerned about Big Tech censorship more than anything else. The 1st Amendment is under attack not to mention the 2nd also.

US Rep William Timmons from Greenville SC is my favorite Republican at the moment.

The question really is will the GOP be the party of Big Business or Main Street Business. Since Roosevelt busted the trusts it has tended to look after Main Street.

If what are pejoratively called "RINOs" stop voting for other Republicans at the polls, what happens to the Republican Party? Seems to me at the moment that those who vote Democrat on a regular basis plus all of those that some people call "RINOs" would be a larger group than what would be left of what I guess some people call "real" Republicans. Not that I would have any problem at all with seeing the Republican Party, along with the Democratic Party, - the Duopoly - go into the dustbin of history.

I agree… from your mouth to God’s ears!

Im a conversation capitalist and these politicians on both sides sicken me… we need to better.

Do you consider pharmaceutical companies and Medical research industries big business? Then Musk and his businesses must be big business. With the arrival of Jeff Besos of Amazon and Elon Musk I would say that we have encouraged them to be entrepreneurial activity by reducing their taxes to “0” in order to be creative. So have we also encouraged Pfizer and Moderna to be creative with designing ways to market vaccines (to the detriment of peoples health & welfare) ? Should the federal government be interfering with Governor DeSantis to get the Entertainment Mogel Disney to begin paying fair taxes? Truthfully, I don’t know all the answers…. This is a many headed hydra question!

Big business has already declared war on small businesses with covid. Big business made billions and small businesses went out of business. Big business already owns congress. Look at what the billionaires are doing to Ukraine. Big business owns countries and remove politicians and put in their own.
