Slate - Big Biz Still for GOP
From big box stores warning that a Democratic victory would make it easier for unions to organize, to the Chambers of Commerce putting millions into ad campaigns against Democrats in Senate races, corporate America still supports the GOP. But given the past 16 years of economic history, actually the big box stores performed much better under Clinton than Bush. Similarly for businesses as a whole (contra the Chambers). But does it really matter? Pro-regulation, pro-labor Dems or anti-regulation anti-tax GOP might not be responsible for the economic booms or busts. So why support one and disdain the other? Perhaps it is a matter of faith.
