Big Companies & Politics

Common sense should tell you that the board of directors of the big companies are just like the politicians, they elect the CEOs, presidents, all officers and approve all V.P.s, while all the time saying it is good for the share holders. When the company goes belly up, they have already sold their stock months ago or enough to good like they knew nothing about the collapse. The board of directors take no heat, just the officers. This is not unlike the political process of today. We elect the President, Senators and Congress, the Senate and the Congress are like the board of directors. They can support the President or not but the thing is, that they get to blame it all on the President, just like the officers of the company blamed. They never come back to their districts and tell the people that they helped the pass the bill that was no good, no instead they will say the President went in the wrong direction and wouldn't adopt your amendment to the bill. See how it all fits, see how it works, we keep electing the same board of directors, that do the same thing over and over again. Until we start electing better Senators and better Congress, we have no hope of coming out any better. The President will still make deals with the Senators and Congress, just like the deals made to the board members, to feather their beds, the only ones that get taken are the shear holders(voters). We need to start putting the blame where it belongs, just like the board, nothing can go anywhere without the votes of the board(Senate & Congress) and these are the people that are also making the policy, to be voted on. Just like the COEs, the President can be made to think about policy, if the Senators and Congress(members of the board) where honest and thought about the share holders(voters) greater good. I heard a Senator say, " That he was elected to do what he thought was right." He was elected to do what the people that elected him think is right, not his own thoughts. This is what is wrong with the system, some have the belief that when elected they and only them have some stake in the out come. We need to start at our polling places and elect the Senators and Congress that will think about the people elected them, what is good for them, not deals made to feather their own nest.
