#1 Being concerned about 'Big Business', in its' present form, does not necessarily mean one is down on the free enterprise system.

Maybe government interference has corrupted free interprise.

#2 Big business as represented by Wall Street has many lefties among its ranks. The fact that so much of Main Street got pilloried when the market collapsed due in part to Democrat policies on sub-prime loans and sweetheart deals with Wall Street banks. It shouldn't be too hard to connect those dots.

#3 Maybe, Bobby?

We are moving farther and farther away from free-enterprise every day. And have been ever since the old timey "capitalists" discovered the efficacy and pleasure of rent seeking.

Our economy is suffering from the pollution of toxic ideology and greed. Part fascist, part socialist part plutocracy and part self-serving political graft & corruption. Any new business is quickly poisoned or quickly dies.

#4 Would work for actual Republicans, but not Tame Republicans. The latter actually support most of the Left's agenda. They won't fight the Left, only dissenters within their ranks.

#5 "Tame Republicans" - Liberals who left the Socialist Party and try to make a living portraying themselves as 'middle of the road' pols. They forgot that 'getting along' with the Socialist is why the Socialist took over their old party.
