And using the term "CEO" as a curse word isn't a strawman? How many CEOs of large companies do you think there are in this country? How many "evil" ones can you name? A dozen? Maybe fifteen if you start breaking a sweat? Ever notice how the same few companies are used as examples when discussing the evils of capitalism?

How big can a small business get before it becomes the enemy? How big was your grandfather's business? You do understand that there are a lot more people like him running businesses in this country than Harvard MBAs?
