“Political Group Ratings: by US Chamber of Commerce on business policy
Source: COC website
Whether you own a business, represent one, lead a corporate office, or manage an association, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of AmericaSM provides you with a voice of experience and influence in Washington, D.C., and around the globe.

Our members include businesses of all sizes and sectors—from large Fortune 500 companies to home-based, one-person operations. In fact, 96% of our membership encompasses businesses with fewer than 100 employees.
Mission Statement:

“To advance human progress through an economic, political and social system based on individual freedom, incentive, initiative, opportunity, and responsibility.”

The ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization’s preferred position. ”
——————-

Now my question iz —How in the Hell can you have an organization that represents BOTH
fortune 500 Giants AND small businesses?

My whole thing is that there are TWO private-sectors. And they aint the same thing. At all.
There’s the small businesses. And then there’s the Walmart, Monsanto, Oil Corpse, Military-contract-Corpse, General Electric, etc.

Those two groups do not have the same interests. Imho. So, why do ‘they’ think they do?
