He was a businessman, driven by the relentless pursuit of power and property. His negotiations were purely transactional: an exchange of wants and needs, nothing more.
His rise to power mirrored a hostile corporate takeover—acquiring just enough stock to secure control, then dismantling and reshaping the entity as he saw fit.
I can then sell off all the parts that I might no longer intend to use and use the money from those sales to pay big dividends to my board and stockholders.
I will reshape the institution into USA, Incorporated—better yet, simply America, Inc.—a streamlined, profit-driven empire.
Departments will be replaced with corporate divisions, each run by subordinates who execute my corporate vision. Corporate courts will enforce policies in line with the new mission There will be the corporate police, a corporate military to protect again foreign threats. There will, of course, be corporate security services, not to mention corporate media and corporate sales and marketing.
For any obstacles that arise, a Fixer will ensure my plans unfold as intended.
Other businesses and other nations will be intimidated by the strength, reach and power of America, Inc. and will become very malleable to my needs.
I have laid out my business plan to the customers/citizens of the nation, have indicated the benefits for all and am now in the process of transforming America into a quick and agile corporation, able to instantly react to any situation.
With this bold new corporate mission, everyone—no matter how small their stake—will marvel at the soaring success of America, Inc.
