PLEASE, provide links or titles of articles/books/documentation, that will help me to understand and prove why it is wrong to think that we should run the goverment like a business and that business owners know the only way to run this government.

my sister who thinks that herman cain is the smartest man alive and knows how to run a successful business and will be the only person who can save the united states by running it like a business. (hubby is a vp in corp america and not hurting for $$ and she is a bachmann type of wife who used to be an intelligent person when she was younger)

please know that when my sister said this to me, i literally wanted to throw up. i have never wanted to physically throw up by any statements made by a person, other than when i was angry and upset about the w presidency and thought i was crazy, until i found thom and steph and randi and mike and others, validating that i am not crazy. and now, i also want to cry when i see what repubs are doing by always saying NO, and people are dying due to politics of republicans and corporate money in goverment.

thank you all. renazantz in madison wi
