Conservatives to Leftist Elite: None of Your Business

By Tony Perkins | April 14, 2021

As far as breakups go, it was a messy one. But frankly, what happened in Georgia between Republicans and the corporate woke had been brewing for months. Sick of watching Big Business swoop into states and act like the fourth branch of government, conservatives' frustrations finally boiled over. After years of fighting alongside companies for the kind of economy that helped businesses flourish, Republicans had to come to grips with the obvious: the loyalty only went one way. Today's CEOs will do anything for the Left's adulation, even if it means going to war with the one party that's had its political and financial back.

Of course, Republicans were in an abusive relationship with Big Business long before the Georgia brawl. Under Donald Trump, CEOs came virtually unglued, flexing their muscle against all kinds of conservative policy in ways no one had ever seen. Then came the tragic events of Jan. 6, and the tension that had been building under the surface came tumbling out. Several companies decided in a very public display to cut ties with Republicans who challenged the election results. Weeks later, when states decided to clean up the disaster of November 2020 with airtight laws like Georgia's, the rooster crowed again. And this was one betrayal conservatives refused to forgive.

Maybe now, Newt Gingrich says, Republicans are finally fed up enough to say, "Oh, you want to pick a fight with me? Well, this is what a fight is going to be like.";;;;Already, companies are whining about the massive corporate tax hikes in the White House's proposal. According to a Business Roundtable survey, 98 percent of the CEOs think that raising the rate from 21 percent to 28 percent would have a "significant adverse effect" -- especially when it comes to global competition............Well, maybe the business community should have thought of that before they threw all of their support behind a candidate who openly campaigned for policies that would crush the economy!....

Corporate America had better wake up and soon or it will discover the meaning of the old adage "If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas."......To Read More.....

My Take - For many years I was involved in my industry's affairs and I came to the one incontrovertible conclusion that's constantly reaffirmed by big business!  They are totally unstable allies, at best they're leaky vessels.  

That's been true for the chemical companies who manufacture pesticides.  They've sold us down the river over and over again and then turn around and expected us to support policies that might be good for them, but not for us, and with few notable exceptions, our invertebrate leadership whimpered into line.  

I do wish people would start paying attention, or if they refuse to pay attention, at listen to me, which hasn't been a popular position to take among America's pest control leadership.
