FILE - In this April 7, 2021, file photo Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo speaks during a press briefing at the White House in Washington. Raimondo estimates she has talked to more than 50 business leaders about the $2.3 trillion infrastructure package that includes corporate tax increases, She is encouraging companies to focus on the entire package instead of the tax increases.

“It’s important for making the country more competitive,” said Cedric Richmond, the White House’s director of public engagement. “We think the plan is so important to the country that we are advocating and singing its praises to all businesses.” Sonnenfeld helped organize a Zoom call this weekend with 100 business leaders to discuss how to oppose Republican-backed proposals across the country that could limit voting. Options include stopping political donations and holding off in investments in states that approve the laws.

James Bailey, a management professor at George Washington University, published an analysis last year that suggested people who identified as Democrats cared more about a company’s political activity than Republicans do.

Corps gonna love 28%

Read the legislation please! What are these restrictions you are referring to? Requiring an ID to vote so that legitimate votes are not erased?

Yeah right wait till they get taxed out the ass by the DemocRats and see how fast they change thier stance

Again. Why is voter ID law suddenly foreign to (most) of America? Its implemented in other countries.

What restrictions exactly?

What's it like to report this 'news' but know that corporations will vote their bottom dollar and back Republicans no matter what?

Business faces tricky path navigating post-Trump politicsThe long political union between corporate America and the Republican Party is fraying as companies take cultural stands and other interests diverge. Fissures have opened over GOP positions on many issues. Screw the cooperations. It’s not corporate America any more. Corps are lead by people who are globalists and have no allegiance to the USA. They are more worried about making $ in China than their own country’s interests Maybe just giving the blanket buy off of a party could lead to its corruption and straying from the needs of the population. Who knew🙄
