If I want to do business with someone and provide them a service they need, I not only gain clients, I gain friends. And there is nothing like someone willing to help out at a modest cost.

Politicians tell us they fight for us but in reality they fight for whomever can line their pockets, as we’ve seen with the Ex-Im Bank.

Whatever Airnbnb and Uber are, they’re the exact opposite of corporate welfare titans.

I don't know how they work in other places, but in New York City that's exactly what they are. Uber is now functioning as a partner of the NYC taxi commission. And Airbnb's business model is built on people who can easily undersell regular hotels because they live in rent-controlled apartments and don't pay the full freight anyway.

Are you suggesting that companies like Marriott and Hertz Car Rental are?
