Personally, I'm a fan of business , but it too easily becomes bad business when mixed with authority and government. Free trade is probably the most stable economic system around. When added to government though, it's a completely different story. Having a single entity with only slightly more authoritative power than the rest destroys the concept of business, as well as the former governing system. By adding business to the government, you add greed, corruption, and trickery. Politics should be driven solely on the beliefs and values of the candidate rather than capitol. Let's hope the world sees the US as an example and chooses not to follow in their footsteps.
