Nader's Refrain

In announcing his candidacy on the "Meet the Press" Sunday, Ralph Nader used the word "corporate" or "corporation" a total of 21 times, a rate greater than once a minute, and universally in a negative manner.

It amazes me that, in 2004, such anti-business nonsense can be continually spouted ad nauseum without challenge. The fact is, millions of people work for corporations, millions more own corporate stock, and everyone in the country owes their standard of living to the successful practice of capitalism and business.

Nader's rhetoric has been tried in practice, and it created a society in which the people lived in abject poverty, oppressed by their government, with some of the most devastating environmental pollution known to man: the Soviet Union. It continues today in Cuba, and the continual stream of Cubans attempting to flee to America is testament to its failure. And it is Nader's vision for the future of America.

Ralph Nader apparently thinks that if we just apply Communism with him in charge this time it will work just fine. Such arrogance speaks volumes to both Nader's inflated ego and total self-delusion.
