There are dozens of companies that fail every day because the were held accountable by their consumers for their mismanagement and inability to meet their demands. 3. I'm surprised that anyone who saw George W. Bush's re-election could believe that politicians are held accountable for their actions ... |
1. The judicial system is the government, so thats the government being accountable.
2. Like I said, businesses are held accountable by economics. CEOs and businesses are not held accountable for their social and political actions.
3. I trust George W. Bush over any CEO any day of the week. President Bush answered to the people and gave them what they want, CEOs answer to no one except for their investors who are only concerned with profit. Which gets me to your point that corrupt politicians are still in office, they still need a majority of their electorate to put them in office so they were held accountable and for whatever reason the population didnt think it was a problem or didnt care. I didnt like George Bush, but most people did so he remained in office.
