As a former libertarian myself, as well as a business owner, I completely understand the concept. I think life's a balance and a well-functioning capitalist economy involves three branches, not unlike our government. In the case of our economy, the three branches are business management, unions and government regulation. With unions being killed and government continually rolled back, it's giving corporate power free reign to fill the vacuum. This is not good for our economy either.
