[Vision2020] RINOs Killed Last Night and Other Numbers of Interest

[lfalen]

There is some truth to what you say. Look at who big business supports. It is of course mixed, but the majority support the Democrats and seem to be not that opposed to regulation as they can cope with it where it is harder for small businesses to do so. Personally I think we could use another Teddy Roosevelt. Lets break up some of the large Corporation, so that no one is too big to fail.

One in particular is the inability of small businesses to pool insurance for workers across state lines because of regulations.  Licensing and permit fees are another hindrance since a flat fee is a form of regressive tax, hurting smaller sized businesses. Local zoning and parking laws crush small business communities significantly, like in Moscow, especially downtown.

> It wasn't until big businesses starting meddling and introducing new regulation legislation via huge sums of cash to legislators that small businesses started disappearing in large numbers while big businesses took their market share. A healthy market of business size should look like a bell curve, not skewed way over to one size with 17 mammoth sized corporations owning 95% of the wealth and market share. It is bound to collapse.

Barrett Schroeder was taken to slaughter as well being defeated by an almost 2 to 1 margin by his own political party. Finally, to add insult to injury, Gary Schroeder was prevented from even taking his  precinct chair seat by his own Republican neighbors.

Voting in a primary that is not your party angers and energizes the party more than it helps your cause. Running on a platform contrary to the party you are running with only results in the energizing of voters to vote against that candidate.

And 51% of them voted in the Republican Primary. 17% voted in the Democratic Primary, and about 30% voted only on the non-partisan ballot. Less than 1250 votes were needed by any candidate to win any nomination. With about 35,000-40,000 people in the 5TH District, that is less than 4% of people deciding who gets to even be on the ballot in November--kind of like China and Iran.
