Corporate CEO's are 'driving' the Ship of State; democracy is in 'trouble'.

Corporate CEO's are driving the Ship of State;... Democracy is in trouble. An 'economic engine' cannot drive a 'Political Entity'. First and foremost, we are a Political Entity and then we have a 'successful economy'. The Political Entity is the Can; the Economy is the contents of the Can. The economy functions with 'Profits'; and it functions on a Huge scale. The motivations for having and creating a 'huge Corporation' are different from the motivations for Governing a Nation; particularly a Democratic Nation. A Democratic Nation is motored by Freedom and Equality and it must also exist on the International scene with other Governments that may not be Democratic. If a business CEO controls a Democracy and he wants to control and enlarge the 'sphere' of influence of the Democracy, on the International scale, he cannot do it with a 'Profits motor'; he needs a 'Freedom and Equality' motor. For example; sending weapons to an allied and then 'billing' them for the weapons will not work; that is ludicrous. That's an 'Economic move' not a 'Political move'. 'Wrong motor' for a Political Entity. Heaven helps us. We are 'doing business' with 'Political entities'. To be sure, business is possible between political entities, but the two motors cannot be 'confused' or 'mixed', and they certainly cannot be 'misused'. We need 'Statesmen' or 'Stateswomen' at the helms. We usually criticize Politicians, but we sure need some right now. Even 'political correctness' is better then a 'Businessman' doing 'business as usual'. Truly, Governing 'has changed', but don't make the mistake of 'putting the wrong motor' at the Top of a Political Entity.
