社評0715  美國人的政商關係







美國人的政商關係

我們在美國生活數十年, 這𥚃就是我們的家。 我們大家希望不斷融入這個社會, 說實在也是為了生存, 更要發展政商關係,否則我們永遠是局外人。

從美國總統、 參眾議員、市長 、議員之選舉都是選民們一票票選舉出來 ,他們是否可以当選取就於二兩因素, 第一是選票, 第二是鈔票,缺一不可。 如果沒有錢就無法買廣告推廣自己 ,大量文宣 ,找人幫忙, 如果經費不足選上機會很低。另外之選票, 這和前者緊密相關, 文宣做好自然知名度強 ,被選中之機會大增。

在美國民主制度之下, 許多特殊之政治委員會都會以特定之目標支持特定之候選人,  換言之他們當選後也要為捐款人服務, 這也是變相的賄選, 但是合法的 ,美國之許多法官是選舉產生的, 為了討好選民 ,也需要調整對他捐助者之意願。

在美國久了, 我們也要入鄉隨俗, 經常舉辦各種募款活動, 增進和候選人之接觸 ,增進情誼, 以便隨時得到些幫助, 這也是非常正常之事。

華裔同胞應深切體認這項選舉文化, 唯有出錢出力去投票才會顯示我們的力量。


American Political And Business Relations

 

We have lived in the United States for decades. This is our home. We all hope to continue to integrate into this society by being active both in politics and in business. In fact, it is also a matter of survival. To be active in both areas we need to actively participate in and be engaged in the political process while developing strong business relations. Otherwise, we will always be looked at as outsiders.

 

From the election of the President of the United States to the Senate, the House of Representatives, the mayor, and the city councils, voters are elected by one vote. Whether they can be elected depends on two factors. The first is votes, and the second is banknotes. If there is a lot of publicity, find someone to help get the word out. If the funds are insufficient, the chance of being elected is very low. All the resulting votes are closely related to the former. If the publicity is carried out effectively, popularity of the candidate will increase naturally, and the chance of being elected will increase greatly.

 

Under the American democratic system, many special political action committees will support specific candidates with specific goals and agendas. In other words, after they are elected, they will also be expected to serve their donors. This is also a form of bribery in disguise, but it is legal. Many judges in the United States are elected for the sake of pleasing the voters and they also need to adjust to the wishes of their respective donors.

 

We have been in the United States for a long time, and we have to "do as the Romans do." We often hold various fundraising activities to increase contact with candidates and enhance friendships so that we can get some help at any time it is needed. This is also very normal and how the system works.

 


Chinese compatriots should clearly understand this election culture. Only by spending money and making the effort to vote can we show our strength both as individuals and as a community.
