Where do your sympathies usually lay?

It seems, quite often, you really can pick a side...

I'm not sure of the intention of your poll. What do you define as business owners? Corporations are owned by a coglamaration of stockholders which may or may not include the executives running the company. If you have a 401k you may be a "business owner".

Spectrum? Spectrum of what? Didn't understand that either.

I think what you may be getting at is some kind of poll on the economic woes of people that run the company and, or the corporate entity vs. the "worker bees".

I am with business OWNERS... CEOs are NOT owners, they are merely overpaid know-nothings... if its owners versus employees, I side with owners 100% of the time... they built that company, its THEIR company... however in terms of CEOs and employees (such as publicly traded companies), it depends on what the issue is and what the complaints are... I don't consider stockholders as owners as they can own and "dis-own" by simply buying and selling stocks... owners to me are the ones who created the business (or purchased it from another owner) AND continually directs its affairs...
