I will admit, I do exaggerate against big business sometimes. Not everyone who runs one and is a big part of one is an evil son of a bitch. They are all greedy, by definition, to an extent, but I do believe that some have truly good intentions and try with all their will to do good despite their hypocritical purpose as a big business. So yes, you caught me in exaggeration, and I admit it. This does not change the fact that the right's point of view on big business is naive and unrealistic.

The only point of a business is to make money. That is it, ultimately. Perhaps a person wants to make money off of an idea they want to share with the world and make it better. Perhaps a person wants to make money and grow a business so that they can provide jobs to people (sincerely). Perhaps a person has this inspiration, or that inspiration, but in the end, it's for the purpose of making money. No big deal, right? Everyone has to make money to survive in a modern country.

But once you are past a small business, this is where the hypocrisy of good-intentioned business owners start. You think, 'why not buy another building to put one of my stores in in a different town? Why not another? Why not seven?' And so they expand. Bigger and bigger. Eventually, the owner needs a group of people to supervise and they are wealthy. And they get wealthier. They buy a bigger house. They have more children and buy more and more luxuries for themselves.

Then one day, they hit a cap in wealth. It's not a cap at which you can stop getting wealthy, no. It is a cap at which you will have the money to have a convenient life for yourself and all of your loved ones until the day you and your mate die. What point is there to collect more and more money past this point? What will you use any more of the money on? You're at the cap; you have so much money you will never suffer again except the pains of old age.

But they don't just up and stop. They don't think 'Oh, I don't need anymore money at this point ever again.' They keep making money. And more money. And more money. And they keep expanding their business. And they buy other businesses. And they keep getting fatter, and richer, and not doing anything with most of their wealth.

Do you see where I'm getting at?

No, not all big business is like this. But, because of the 'cap' I mentioned, all grossly rich people are hypocritical to a point, no matter how good intentioned they are. The only time they aren't is when they give all of their extra money away to the needy. It doesn't help that they give to charity every now and then, or give gifts to the Upper-Middle Class, or donate money to disaster relief funds.

As long as they have money they aren't using, no matter what their intentions, they are hypocrites. At least a little bit. I applaud rich people like Andrew Carnegie though; ones that DO give all of their money away for a good cause. Unfortunately, rich people like those are few in comparison to the number of rich who don't and never will.

So no, rich people are not all evil evil. They are human, as a group, but they are more evil ultimately in general if you mass all of them together as a category throughout human history. They have done more harm then good, whether they take the form of aristocrats or government officials or the owners of big businesses, they have been more of a hindrance then a help. They are a human, and they are not all evil nor do all of them intentionally try to refrain from doing good. But true wealth is based upon greed and gluttony and over-excess in relation to what a person truly needs to be happy until the day they die.

And to be honest, I'm going easy on them so far in how I'm talking about the things you've done. I'm actually taking the time to show just how hypocritical they are as opposed to bad. The problem is that most people with your opinion do not know what they are talking about entirely, and I have no way to know whether you do or not...

So let me just say yes, you caught me over exaggerating. I do not regret over exaggeration because I see big business doing a lot of harm to people I know and care about all the time. Logically, they are not all evil. But the entire purpose of a business beyond being small is, in the end, a hypocritical play of greed unless they do not suck money they will never use out of their consumers and employees. The unfortunate part is that the only rich person that does this will never be rich, they will be Upper-Middle Class, because that is about the cap at which there should be nothing in your lifestyle that causes you suffering except of course for death and illness and irrational emotions.

And sir, you haven't even gotten me started on the evil things that too many big businesses and rich people do to Middle Class and poor people.

Which is why in the end, based upon logic and opinion, I will never assert that big business is needed for any reason in this country. It hurts too many people and provides services and products and living essentials that other sources could provide for us with less harm to the well-being and health of the non-wealthy.

I honestly feel this country would be better if our economy rested upon the shoulders of nothing but small business and government funding. That way our rich people would just be Upper-Middle Class instead of these miniature kings and queens that preside over vast private property with the rights almost the same as those of foreign countries.

But I'm no economist, so my main points will never be based upon economics, only logic and morality.
