Corporate statists under cover of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are targeting the tea party faction in Congress and backing establishment Republicans as the 2014 primaries approach.
“Our No. 1 focus is to make sure, when it comes to the Senate, that we have no loser candidates,” Scott Reed, a Chamber political strategist, told The Wall Street Journal. “That will be our mantra: No fools on our ticket.”
For the Chamber, political fools are those who oppose unchecked federal spending and irresponsible deficit spending and a ballooning national debt.
Calling itself an advocate for small business, the Chamber of Commerce is dominated by banks and large transnational corporations. CitiGroup, Google, Microsoft, Boeing, Merck and other banks and large corporations drive the relationship between the trade organization and government. In 2013 alone, the Chamber spent $30 million electing establishment and “centrist” Republicans who support corporate socialism.
During the faux government shutdown, corporate trade groups signed a letter denouncing the effort led by the tea party faction in the House to defund Obamacare and force the government to address an astronomical federal debt. The letter complained that a government shutdown would interrupt “vital services that industry relies upon” and be “economically disruptive and create even more uncertainties for the U.S. economy,” the Huffington Post reported in September.
