What you're suggesting is that the corporations are purposely suppressing the economy in order to get more Republicans elected.
I figure that they've got both sides bought off in the first place, but there may be an element of truth to your argument.
But I contend that they're being cautious, with good reason. This election brings a lot of uncertainty, demand is still weak, and if you tool up and produce a bunch of widgets that nobody wants, you're gonna take it in the shorts.
Fools rush in. Besides, I don't see every CEO as another Hannibal Lecter.

You're right about them owning members of both parties. I meant to say "their
favorite lapdogs."
I don't know about the weak hand though. Management has had a good hand for a long time, and they have drawn another ace with high unemployment. They're not all evil, but most are amoral. The expansion of profit takes precedence over every other thing.
