Al Capone was a businessman too by his own admission. Just giving the people what they want. The tyrannical government was always getting in the way.

Libertarianism is a mind virus about individualistic economics. Marxism is a mind virus about collective economics. Both are intensely idealistic and to that degree, wrong. All viable cultures have both individualistic and communal aspects.

Thinking you can separate economics and politics is specious. They are two different aspects of the same thing. The stuff and who gets it. Nobody gets it by themselves. Obama was right about that part. Of course he used that truth to try and deny individual enterprise. Both are parts of reality. Mind viruses can only see one side.
