A business man, trying to influence government?? You don't say.

In all seriousness, the argument that one benefits from the current system but advocates for a different system is not acceptable is just wrong. We can't all be living in a cabin in the woods. We're allowed to have opinions

That's not the argument though. The argument could be something like "let's have a government that can interfere when necessary".

Useful when businessmen start pretending that things are happening in a vacuum and the environment they operate exists spontaneously.
