[FLAME ON]

And what the bloody hell is wrong with "pro-business?"  You want to live
in a statist paradise, go right ahead, but don't try to tell me how
wonderful that life is.  Contrary to you, *I*'ve been there.

Or maybe we should have government redistribute income evenly to
everyone?  Of course, there would be no income to distribute very soon,
but who gives a shit, right?  At least "business" wouldn't get rich.
To hell with the fact that thousands and thousands of people would lose
their jobs, at least *someone* wouldn't get rich.

Even Russia doesn't believe this class-envy crap anymore, so the only
people left are pseudo-intellectualls too busy philosophising to
register reality.
