> arguing against Chris because of ideology or what?

I see it as a clash of values.  Without imputing any view to
Chris that he may not have, there are those who believe all
economic value is produced by the working class & all
profit is grabbed by capitalists.  My view is that all segments
of the economy (workers, engineers, managers, capitalists,
advertisers, lawyers, accountants, etc.) CAN (at times) produce
economic value & gather profit/suffer loss.

No doubt this is "crony capitalism" at its worst.  I serve on your Board of
Directors & vote you alot of money, while you serve on my Board & vote
me alot.  The multi-billion $ bailout is this cronism at the government level.
