Pointing out that men and women who had to go to work to earn their daily bread were heros of the capitalist machine driving the economy forward is patently absurd.

You obviously missed the many acts of heroism that were performed by people who are not minions of the state, like the seven business men who risked their lives to take turns carrying a handicapped co-worker down 70 flights of stairs

Did I, or are you just assuming? Were these individuals carrying on with their capitalist duties of driving the economy forward or were they trying to help get theselves and a co worker the hell out of a burning building? Which, by the way, they were doing while they were being passed by your "minions of the state" going the other direction.

Just what exactly is a minion of the state? I volunteered, 12 years ago, to serve my country in the armed forces. Does that make me a "minion of the state"?
