That may be true. And, if it is the case, then we really have a huge 
damn problem, because like 2% of business owners see the long term 
consequences of bankrupting the people that buy their goods as a, 
"problem", the other 98% figure they can just keep paying people shit, 
not hiring anyone, if they can help it, doing all their manufacturing in 
other countries, and lining their own pockets. And, those people 
constitute the "backbone" of the Republican support.

So long as that condition persists, there simply isn't any money in 
catering to the progressive/liberal views. And, imho, it makes his 
decision to do so even more stupid, dangerous, and, dare I, as a 
liberal, non-Christian, use such a term, "unpatriotic". Hell, some of 
these idiots I would go as far as using the term, "treason", on, except 
that, until/unless some right winger gets elected and puts *that* back 
into law, you probably couldn't try them on it, even if you managed to 
get them in front of a judge for being stupid enough to do things damn 
close to qualifying.
