True, but until this administration, the profits that occurred, if and when they occurred, were not the stuff of stigma, and jealousy.
This administration wants the business owner to accept all that uncertainty with no prospect of a reward if it goes well.
I have difficulty defending the Wall Street arbitrage types because I see little real value in what they do. Maybe its just me and my uncomprehending mind, but I don't see how they contribute much to anything.
And remember, crony capitalism, and corporatism are not really capitalism.
