With the lobbying system, they get their way when interests conflict between what they want and the public interest. The prevailing successful promotion they use is that their interests ultimately are in the interests of the people. So if we want real reform, we need to adapt their strategy and show where our interests would be in the interests of business. That is where I suggest we divide them to achieve our goals and this can be done with HR 676 better than the current House Bill or the Senate joke which would increase costs more, especially in their promoted bugaboo, taxes and regulated burden. Thus we should approach business, and particularly small business that continues to be trampled in lieu of Wall Street fortune 500 companies. I suggest we use this brochure:

Comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
