This is a letter from our 'least unfavourite' mainstream newspaper. What does everyone think?

It seems to me that small businesses, as long as they abide by certain rules and regulations are alright.

AM I SO BAD?

About 20 years ago, I borrowed several thousand pounds to start a small engineering business. We repaid our debts, created 12 permanent jobs and met all our social obligations. Clearly, we were practitioners of capitalism. Our engineering products are in use around the world, so our capitalism is global. Could someone newly returned from Genoa put down his half-brick and tell us what I'm supposed to have done wrong?
