When specific corporations or industries try and influence legislation, they are worse than the Unions. Every businessman is for free trade except for his own industry. But in general, organizations that represent the entire business community, like the Chamber of Commerce are generally on the pro-growth side of issues. The time the Chamber can't be trusted is when it comes to worker safety or environmental law.
