We ARE NOT a business, we're a COUNTRY!
As a country we are not trying to make a profit or be most profitable.
We have to only do a couple of simple things:
Provide for the common defense - protect us against any country who would seek to take us over.
Promote the General Welfare of all the people in this country, including taking care of the hungry, the homeless and the poor.
Protect the freedoms in the Bill of Rights for all of our people regardless of race, gender, age, religion, color, and political affiliation.
Take in enough in taxes from everyone to pay for these protections.
The United States is not a business!

I think Republican voters are short-sighted and vote on personal issues rather than what's good for the country.
