What's interesting is when I've challenged that in terms of having
middlemen take a percentage (for example), the opposition tends to
fall apart.  Like they've learned a slogan, but no more.  Not that
there's no argument there at all, but people haven't been exposed to
opposition and don't know how to respond, even in a rote manner.
