Unclear and convoluted. The phrase he should be using is capitalist class, but that scares liberals, and thus he's going to try and make a distinction between "good capitalists" and "bad capitalists," as he's doing here.
Are you putting small business owners (I'm talking about real small business here, not what the Republicans call "small business") in the same category as Bill Gates, then?
I believe TNF said to me before that the mom and pop store down the street is worse than Bernie Madoff (not even joking.)
Edit: Found it.
Not that much more sinister than all the other capitalist financiers running the show in Washington, although I see that they've attracted special ire from liberals who want to make them the 'bad capitalists' to enhance the image of the 'good capitalists' they sincerely (and stupidly) think exist.
Yeah, because the couple that owns the local bakery down the street are just as bad as Sheldon Adelson, the Kochs, and Bernie Madoff.
Yes, small business owners tend to be almost universally as awful if not more awful than large capitalist enterprise. Part of that is the fact that they must engage in hyper exploitation in order to compete with said larger enterprises. Part of that is also the fact that owners of business tend to be right-wingers, which should surprise literally no one and makes the liberal defense of mom and pop stores all the more baffling from a movement that purports to stand up for the 'little guy'
