Dave, no worries, I took it as a tongue in cheek comment.
It's quite a dichotomy that is created in our system. I think it's feasible that at a macroeconomic level, we could get some level of agreement among parties. The trouble is that business is run at a micro-economic level and the rules are different down there. What's good for the individual can absolutely be bad for the whole and it's my opinion that the purpose of government is to serve public purpose, not individual purpose. Corporations and individuals, as a general rule, will only (and always) only look out for their own good and government's role in the economy is to set up an infrastructure that supports microeconomic successes while benefiting the population as a whole.
