Kevin Obrien bags big business with small business
as one and misses the point. They are not the same. Our problems are not about envy or success being a sin. Our problems
are about unfair trade. Small business and the free enterprise system have been smashed by corporate greed. In most cases
the main product of big business is making money on money instead of making things or selling things at a reasonable markup
in any reasonable fair way. When
small business is left unprotected, it is devoured by big business where a lost leader economy controls the process. Small
business does not stand a chance when facing opposition that can sell under costs to grab market share while looking
good for the stock exchange and making their money on their stocks rather than on their products. Large
corporations can last for years this way. However, after this scenario plays out and there is no one left to devour, the money
games begin in a global economic arena where labor is deflated to fill the gap. The globalist free traders forgot that
the value of labor and workers represent a real money value and acts as a money standard. With this value radically deflated
the whole process starts tumbling down. And all the king's men and all the global money funds in the world can
not fill the void. There
is no such thing as a perpetual motion economy but that is what big money tried to accomplish. As far as completing the medical mart in Cleveland, not much will
come of it. It is putting the cart before the horse. The medical industry is dependent on a good tax base. The medical industry
can not survive by itself. With fewer and fewer private sector businesses, there is no way to pay the toll. Taking it
out of sale taxes is also a defeating method. It acts as a tariff on the free enterprise system which is being smashed by
corporate greed in a setting where big government and big money have married. The medical mart project is an example of
this merger and of everything that is bad. The money games are coming to an end and we need to find real ways to grow
real values in a protected free enterprise environment. The spinning top of big money, big government and corporate
greed is spinning to a stop. |
