Question

Why was the growth of big business good for our country and why it may not have been good for our country ?

Explain how unions benefited workers and why the owners of a very large business did not like them.

Answer 1

Business people in intense competition with each other to produce a better, less expensive product or service are and always has been good for the economy of any country. When businesses are allowed to become too big to fail, to hire trained gunslingers in the form of expensive lobbyists and contribute heavily to the campaigns of candidates who provide those businesses favors, privileges, subsidies, tax cuts, etc., they cease to be good for the economy of our country.

Business owners hate unions because it gets in the way of them making money. The ego maniacal business owner values profit above treating employees with dignity or as a human being at all. Forcing an employee to skip lunch is the difference between earning $100 to $0.00. Unions are hated because they force business owners to do the right thing. Sometimes what is right keeps them from maximizing their profits. There are labor laws, however can be ignored when greed is involved. Most employers get away with it as opposed to employers who have employees with unions.

Answer 3

That's a very good question. Business growth in the free market is an absolute MUST for a good capitalistic society. The rich get richer but the poor have a chance to also become rich, However, what we have today is not a true capitalistic society. It's gotten to the point where corporations influence, through the use of Lobbying which either has to go or has to be MASSIVELY changed. Heck, a Monsanto lawyer (Yes THAT Monsanto, the Darth Vader tier bad one) is on the supreme court.
