"I think an administration that is business-minded can yield great economic prosperity but might not necessarily have interests in maintaining the rights of American citizens."
I don't think we've seen an administration in the last 25 years that had an interest in maintaining the rights of American citizens.

In this regard, I posit government officials do not necessarily tend to act this way (at the expense of American tax dollars).
- pasquinelli 10y agoI understood business-minded to mean sympathetic to the desire of the business community.
- rajangdavis 10y agoNo worries, that's why I tried to clarify (hopefully I did). I agree with you wholeheartedly.
- rajangdavis 10y agoI am inclined to agree, but I would argue that most businesses do not aim to preserve the rights of their customers (think the data collection performed by Google and Facebook and 100's of ad agencies on the Internet) and I think that this thinking can be quite dangerous in a political context.
