Indeed, especially the business aspect of it.

Yes.  Where I was really going towards is that the socialist liberal 
will always start out talking about equality, opportunity, fairness etc.  
Then about halfway through the conversation it will turn into rights, 
entitlements etc.  They will often confuse opportunity with 
entitlements.
