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.
If you can dispute that, I'd like to read it.

Independent, by the way.
You can make all the
theoretical arguments you want. But
real life history has shown vastly stronger ties between Democrats and the mob than Republicans and the mob.
I think the Democrats here will say that the Republicans are mob friendly, and the Republicans will keep saying that the democrats are.
Partisanship doesn't even have to enter into it. History simply shows what it does.
