U.S.A. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue.
From the Everett, WA Herald Business Journal:
Chamber of Commerce targets ultra-conservatives
Thomas Donohue, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, pledged Friday to “double down” on Capitol Hill and on the campaign trail against the ultra-conservative forces that he said threaten the business community's agenda.
Those forces, which have helped buoy outsider presidential candidates such as Donald Trump, represent “an articulation of frustration” from the American people, Donohue said. Hard-line conservatives also helped wrest the gavel from chamber ally Speaker John Boehner of Ohio.
The accompanying photo is a great one - just another rich bitter old white man:
Just go away and leave us to our businesses and our freedom. You do not represent American Small Business - you never have and you never will. Honestly, you probably think that we are a burden - we drag you down.
You're ideal is crony capitalism - let a business succeed and rise to the top and then let them lobby for Federal government subsidies and protection so that no other business will be able to fairly compete or unseat them. This practice is not free-market capitalism and it is free-market capitalism that made America great.
Sod off General Electric - it is time for you to defend your turf by making better products and not by using your influence to crush any and all competition.
