While most politicians have a background of being a lawyer, I don't think many of them are businessmen.

I haven't actually gone through and counted, but my general impression has always been that businessmen are more common than lawyers in politics.

OK, just looked it up; a whole ton of politicians are lawyers. The majority of Senators, at least. I suppose my incorrect impression comes from hearing too many political ads where the candidate brags about being a businessman.


Businessmen are only just now trying to go enmass into politics because they are getting fed up with the idiocy of lawyers. Businessmen generally have tried to play both sides in the past so they don't offend anyone. This last election was unusual in the fact that businesses got so fed up with Democrats in Washington they threw all their support to the Republicans.


Or the businessmen saw a chance for a functional plutocracy by supporting Republicans.

Well it is official, next time you accuse me of being partisan I can say: "That's the pot calling the kettle black."


And when did I ever claim I wasn't?

You are naive to believe that only a partisan leftist would claim business men have monetary reasons for supporting conservative ideals. It is a simple fact of the right.
