Political action that benefits the business is the default mode. It's the easiest because businesses have easiest way to accumulate enough captital to bribe the politicians. Business is naturally concentrated while consumers are naturally dispersed.

While the business in US was content to sit on their throne and milk the consumers, US consumers uplifted the entire country of China. Consumers are way more economically powerful than the business. Seeing economy through business and workers lens is as misguided as it is traditional.



> It's the easiest because businesses have easiest way to accumulate enough captital to bribe the politicians.

This is the easiest way to tell someone is wrong about politics. This doesn't happen, but everyone who doesn't know how anything works thinks it does. You just can't handle the truth that other voters actually believe different things than you.

> While the business in US was content to sit on their throne and milk the consumers, US consumers uplifted the entire country of China.

Think you forgot every other country exists here.


> This doesn't happen

The alternative is that either supporting largest business is completely accidental or that it's done for the good of the voters.

Both alternatives are completely rudiculous. You can be sure that money is flowing. You can see some of the money flowing in the form of lobbying and cosy retirements if government officials in corporate boards. You can be sure there's more. US is incredibly overtly and covertly corrupt at every level.

> Think you forgot every other country exists here.

All other countries that are running trade deficit for decades without much issue?
