My 3 Principles of Political Philosophy

My political philosophy in a nutshell, follows three main principles:

1. The purpose of business is to make money. It's not to "serve" their customers, that's Pollyanna-ish crap.

2. The purpose of government is to serve its constituency.

3. Therefore, one inherently must believe in government before business.

Both options can become corrput, bloated, and red-tape heavy, but the purpose is the key.

No organization who's goal is to make money at all costs, can be a good steward of what is truly best for American's in the long run.

P.S. It took me many years to develop and explain my political philosophy in such a concise way. As noted in the byline of this blog, I am often verbose when writing. I could crank out a 10 page paper in a few hours if you gave me a choice of topic, or a topic that really grabbed me. Sometimes it can be fluff, but usually it's hard-hitting and research-based. But, when I developed these principles, even I was astounded how clear and concise my mindset and worldview was/is.

You'd think that would be obvious to our elected officials since we have been able to figure it out, but if you look at the record, the government has given big business the green light to not only rob us, but to poison our food supply.

When you get a chance, look up the relationship between Bill and Hillary Clinton and Monsanto, and what Monsanto has done to farmers and to our food supply, with the full support, and even the personal assistance of the Clintons.

It should be plastered all over front pages everywhere -- it is that ugly and corrupt.
