Not directed at the OP...
Once in America we celebrated, looked up to entrepreneurs that started businesses in their garage and grew those businesses into multibillion dollar firms that employ tens of thousands of people. Those entrepreneurs were seen as deserving their retirement lifestyles as something everyone aspired to... Not so much now, I guess. The Left has done a fine job. Even FReepers seem caught up in it.

This has zero to do with free markets, giving people credit for entrepreneurship, and employing people. This is about the absolute necessity to ensure fair business practices, ensure level fields of competition, and prevention of monopolies. If you think that capitalism is the best economic system ever devised by humanity, which I do, you will appreciate how essential it is to prevent abuse of that system and thus hand opportunities to its critics. Capitalism is about ‘winning’/achieving with honesty, hard work, and integrity. When it becomes ‘win doing whatever it takes’, it becomes unsustainable and indefensible.
