Interesting article on how the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (CoC) is Wall St., not main street, why CoC supports Obamacare, amnesty for illegals, and Common Core, and most importantly, how the Republican Party (the elites) serves the interests of the CoC.
That, in turn, explains why, despite being elected a majority in both House and Senate, Republicans have done nothing about Obamacare and illegal “immigration”.

Counter Argument – Then again, what about Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, and Orin Hatch, and Lindsey Graham, and John McCain, and John Cornyn, and Thad Cochran and, well, you get the point…. What’s the difference between supporting those consistently Republican “Republicans” only to have them advocate for…
