Well, that alone isn't an occupy mentality. It's basic social democracy. I don't blame corporate types. I just don't buy the idea that the profit motive alone is going to lead to a satisfactory standard of living for the vast majority of human beings. And I don't think that Big Business deserves to have influence over our government. That's not starry-eyed idealism. It's just about being a principled social democrat.

Businesses move to Austin because our culture is enticing. If any type of business is somewhat responsible for that, it's small business, for whom many Americans and Austinites work.

There's no need for name-calling. Big Business is not evil, but they are often misguided, because profit is not the only worthy end. The welfare of our citizenry is always the most important thing.
