From one blog maniac to another, I feel that blogging gives us all an opportunity to express our opinions, good and bad, off the cuff and to the masses. I remember getting bad service in a Subway sandwich shop with my family, I sent out a twitter to my group and in 24 hours I received a personal apology from the franchise owner and the corporate office with a hefty supply of free food vouchers that literally lasted us a year. It’s nice to know that we are able to keep companies in check using social media.

For the economically nave and entrepreneurial utopia seekers, this isn’t an article for you. Press that ‘X’ at the top right side of the computer screen and open up a new browser and go to the official Obama page where you’ll get the lies you need in order to feel like your corporate concepts actually have a place in reality.

The undertaking of a corporate start-up is as American as apple pie and denim jeans. Start-ups come and go like the tide but for a very small, in the know group of beneficiaries; they can attribute their successes to a group of five power-brokers that are responsible for some of the most earth shattering mergers, political movements and corporate turnarounds in modern economic history.

The objective of today’s CEO is survival; survival in terms of enterprise position. The CEO has to pick up the shattered remnants left behind by the lies and failures of elected officials and institutions. Today’s senior executive needs to be a congressman, judge, mayor and priest all rolled up into one. The livelihood of one’s employees/constituency depends on the expansion tactics, emotional stamina, intellectual foresight and willingness to enter into an economic cage brawl to protect the company, shareholders and employees that depend on the entity’s survival for monetary sustenance.

When I go to political functions or functions that claim to have the who’s who in attendance I find it fascinating to stand back and watch people interact. Politicians and power CEOs always stick to surface conversations, upstarts converse while looking over the shoulder of their conversation partner waiting for the opportunity to dump them and move onto someone with more influence. I could watch this interaction for ours and speculate with friends where we believe the targets of our conversation to be in their professional and pedigree evolution.

When I turn on the TV I’m bombarded with images of senate hearings, global finance leaders, hedge fund CEOs and of course the do nothing politicians we pay to protect us. And when I see them now, I no longer see them as humans like you and me. They are an entirely separate specie. Worse than vampires they feed off of the existence of you, me and our children.

For decades economic realities have been placed under a black veil of secrecy with its truths and lies known only to the institutional banking elite and we the public just stand like an ocean of monkeys. The system was never exposed, insiders never spoke out.

Think back to just a few short years ago, banks were on a lending spree, corporate lines of credit were being issued in record volume and companies were able to raise equity and debt capital with reasonable ease; then came the banking crash which unfortunately brought on an entirely new group of scams preyed on the innocent and naive small business owner which damaged the economy that much more.

For those of you in a mad dash for funding you’ve obviously realized that banks and institutional lenders aren’t going to be parting with their cash anytime soon. The bailout money provided to them by our tax dollars was meant o jump-start the entrepreneurial community and spike job creation but this just as everything else our government does with the shake down capital it rapes from it’s citizens is nothing but smoke and mirrors.

In a perfect world public and large private companies could experience rapid growth by simply treating their client base right and taking and gradually making more transactions to increase revenues to subsidize the additional costs of more locations, employees etc. This is fine if you’re only trying to build a company worth a few million and then fold up when you’re ready to retire.
