Corporate America would love nothing more than a Ron Paul presidency. He'd give them everything they ever wanted. Less rules. That's what they want. Ron Paul would give that to him.
Yep, he would do pretty much exactly as you said, well, he would if he could rule by decree rather than having to ask what would be a less than kind and generous congress for legislation that many would be against and hope they will write it and then pass it so then he could sign it so it would then happen.
For Ron Paul, that should be simple .... as simple as peeling a turtle.
Now if he could do as you said a small number of people would earn a massive amount of money, but at the same time the largest amount of corporate and business operating capital ever has been sat on, unused, would largely go to growth and expansion and jobs and paychecks that seem small when compared to those lucky few who receives obscenely large checks, if not for those obscenely large ones the smaller ones would never have existed, making them as much smaller as could be possible. Then all those new smaller checks would be taxed and they would be spent buying things they both need and just want .... and just like that cash is flowing and people are buying and others have to work to make what they're buying and so on and so on and so on .... and as that great democrat JFK said; "a rising tide lifts all boats."
Instead Obama has created a hostile relationship with everything from small businesses to the largest corporations. He created an atmosphere of confusion and increased costs that has caused caution and pessimism in everything from small businesses to the largest corporations. That is why they are sitting on such massive amounts of unused operating capital.
As much as it sounds crazy to some, and even distasteful to others, it is what is needed now. It's not the best long term solution, but it is the only viable short term solution. The U.S. really only has one horse to ride out of the desert on and they need to ride it until it's ready to drop and in the meantime think up and have 'Plan B' ready to take over.
Let one guy do all he can to make the most of what little we have to work with and let it do what it does best, things will get better while riding that horse to it's last breath and later let someone else who would be more qualified for it design a whole new plan and have it in place and switch to it at the proper time.
People want an instant or overnight change that will alter everything that is rotten. There is just no way to do it quickly. We brought a fat girl to the dance and now our only hope to have some fun in the semi-near future is dance her hard until she needs to sit, take a rest, eat a wild boar, and while she's doing that you pick up a thin chick you've had your eye on all night and blow that Popsicle stand.
