We've got a slew of people on the left (including virtually the entire democrat presidential field) who have never run a business, met a payroll, created wealth, or made significant business decisions, who are all too ready to say, "O those rich people and corporations have made enough money. They won't care if we take bunch of it and redistribute it."

It's like people who have ever held a gun dictating gun policy.

Andrew Yang, Tom Steyer, John Delaney and Beto O'Rourke would beg to differ. And I'd say most Governors or big city mayors fit that category too.

Your bias is unbelievable. Just admit already you're a Republican. You'll feel better about yourself in the morning.

Don’t forget that Warren is also a premier commercial law professor, which, I imagine, requires a rather deep understanding of the intricacies or running a business.

Her forte is bankruptcy law. And you forgot the 1/1024 of a dollar loan her parents gave to her to start that business.

And with due respect, knowing the law is no replacement for being a business person. I know way too many attorneys that cant even run their own practice.

Quote:There is no question that the Republican Party is the preferred party of businesses, because their values are generally more aligned with owners/the capital class, while Democrats are generally more aligned with laborers/the working class. And while having experience running a business is undoubtedly helpful in the executive branch, Trump is a poster child for how lacking political experience is detrimental. Ideally someone who lacks one of those traits would surround themselves with advisers who fill the void.

It goes beyond that lad. Where do you think taxes come from? Not from the workers at Mickey Ds, I can tell you that.

A business owner who becomes a politician understands not just the fiscal bite, but the 'pain in the fing ass' bite that government represents. They understand who actually foots the bill in the nation overall.

A non-business owner simply thinks as business as the goose that lays the golden egg that they should grab more of, and hamper them at the same time.

No number of 'advisers' can fill in that simple understanding.
