16. There are only a few people, comparitavely, who benefit from big buisness.

Most people benefit from small buisnesses and increasing their salaries.

Teddy Roosevelt fought against the scourge of monopolistic big buisness. Big buisnesses overstepped themselves and caused the Great Depression on Hoover's watch. After that FDR stepped in and set up regulations that prevented their re-rise for a number of decades, until recently.

I *reject* that everybody in politics is "corporatist pro-big-buisness". In fact nearly all of the most popular politicians on the Democratic side are pro-small buisness and anti-monopoly.
