There should be no problem with a couple Guys/Gals starting a business that bids and gets Government contracts..

that is not what ends up happening though, because the politicians who get 'financed' by corporations usually end up going to office..
money talks.. with enough money you can win elections..
the fact that NOBODY outside the two parties even gets talked about is PROOF that politics is bullshit.
anyone should be able to run for office based on their merits..
instead you have corporate-funded actor/politician/stars which, once elected, are EXPECTED to create business for the corporations and RETURN the investment which was made in regards to financing campaigns etc..
huckabee, clinton, obama etc.. are not the ONLY ones who should be running, but they are the ONLY ONES TO GET EXPOSURE and media support..
add electronic voting to the picture..
does that seem fair or democratic to you??
washington is in the hands of big business, and this is not good by any means..
you don't seem to understand that big business only exists to make money, and as corporations they are legally bound to do anything within their power to increase earnings..
if government runs everything then corporations will run everything, not mom and pop operations as you say.
