I guess the point is listing the public loans and grants awarded to a businessman who happens to be trying to influence the government?
Can be useful in many ways, for example can be a talking point about the wonders of having a federal government. Can be useful for having a context when a businessmen campaigns against taxes and subsidies. Can be used against certain businessmen claiming they did everything by themselves, unlike those unsuccessful poor people or lazy immigrants.
It's something interesting to keep in mind when demanding drastic changes on how the world should work.
- bko 3y agoA 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
- mrtksn 3y agoThat'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.
