Mafia is criminal enterprise.......emphasis on enterprise.
Pure capitalists with no pretensions of morality.
On paper, the modern day Republican party is against government regulation of businesses, correct?
I didn't think that anyone could refute that the mafia (leaders) would favor platform and party that stands for industry and the market policing/regulating itself.
Now that I think of it, you didn't refute or challenge what I wrote. Illegal business and money laundering into "legit businesses" stands to operate better under the "pro business..anti-regulation" platform.
