30. I think major media would accept less money, so long as it's

a sure thing. At least they do this temporarily.

Big companies want to eliminate risk as much as they want to be super-rich. And they think that eliminating risk is a way to guarantee more profits in the future.

Democrats like level playing fields on which everyone can compete. There are no guaranteed outcome, except that democrats guarantee that everyone who works hard can earn a buck, and the harder you work, the more bucks you earn. Democrats also provide a safety net so that anyone who can't compete, or who tried and failed at least can live with dignity and not starve (it's the least we can do in such a wealthy society).

This lack of guaranteed outcomes, and rewarding of WORK (rather than of wealth) is an anathema to Republicans and to big companies.
