We can see our Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce petrified in its beliefs. They feel that trickle-down economic theory works and hence they support the tax cut bill. They are totally fossilized in place and don't even realize how disastrous that bill would be for the State of New Mexico. Once again, it is time for new leadership at the Chamber.
They have shown their complete lack of political insight in ignoring the potential of the new Mayor, Tim Keller, during his campaign. Now, they will be arriving with hands out like nothing ever happened during the political changeover. It will be interesting to see how Mayor Keller will handle them. You have to work with them but insisting on some new leadership from them would not be out of line.
If you feel a need to get any more angry with the political rightwing bent of the power in America, I would suggest you read a book titled "Democracy in Chains" by Nancy MacLean. I just started it and am convinced more than ever that corporate America needs to be castrated if we are to save our nation. Time is running out.
