Since anti-capitalism was mentioned so prominently I wanted to point out how many of the future city council and mayoral candidates, even the more moderate ones interviewed here all mention how they want to support "small independent businesses" not "all businesses". This is an implied prejudice that the large businesses are bad and that all small businesses are good. It feeds into the mantra of hate we are currently experiencing. We need a variety, some people do well working for larger more structured businesses while others do better with the smaller paycheck of a smaller friendlier business. The hate does seem to lump all businesses together from the single unit landlord to the multinational corporations but it does have a greater emphasis on the latter. We have to become smarter than the rhetoric.
