“When it is a business model, and when it is deliberate, and when it is a thought-out strategy on how to take the value out of a company in a reckless way and hurt others—and you then become a proponent of that strategy, and talk about it as if it’s the soul of capitalism, and literally the soul of America—I think nothing could be more offensive.” —
