What you fail to understand is US Inc. is a corporation, a business.
It has a DUNS number or Dunn & Bradstreet identification number.
Hence it too is a business.

LOL! Tell that to the owners of big tech. I do agree with you but people have been buying influence since societies were formed. Politicians get elected by either promising the uber rich breaks or the poor and or worthless, tax payor benefits, while we in the middle get the shaft.

The Koch brothers were the epitome of the Republican Establishment. Republican policies benefited the Koch's. They h**ed Trump because of his America first policies. They wren't all about America. Like most rich they were about power and money.
