If you're being intellectually honest, you should try to confront the opponent's strongest version of his argument, not contrive the weakest form and attack that.
You know what I'm getting at. And you're confusing free enterprise, capitalism, and being in the capitalist class.
Taking out debt to make a profit doesn't all of a sudden put you in the capitalist class. Then any schmuck with 0 savings could convince a bank to give him a series of mortgages, and boom, capitalist. That's not how it works.
The business eventually has to be profitable, and the profit has to exceed the value of the loan, and eventually exceed $2.5 M. Come on man, you know what I'm talking about.
Stand ye calm and resolute,
Like a forest close and mute,
With folded arms and looks which are
Weapons of unvanquished war.
And if then the tyrants dare,
Let them ride among you there;
Slash, and stab, and maim and hew;
What they like, that let them do.
With folded arms and steady eyes,
And little fear, and less surprise,
Look upon them as they slay,
Till their rage has died away:
Then they will return with shame,
To the place from which they came,
And the blood thus shed will speak
In hot blushes on their cheek:
Rise, like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number!
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you:
Ye are many—they are few!
