One thing that Big Business has shown me is they will always worry about profit first then what service they provide. We don't need every thing in our country based on that idea.
He has some good ideas but he just goes way the fuck overboard. If he would stick to a few key things like standing up for our Constitution and running a organized govt, well then he might be a front runner.

Slight correction... he thinks the "free market" can handle things better, not necessarily big business. In true free markets (at least as true as they can ever be), business have a much harder time getting as big as they do, now.
Bureaucracy and big government provide a much bigger opportunity for the intermingling of business and government. It can help prop up big business while killing the little guys through over burdensome regulation. Businesses simply buy the bureaucrats and buy regulations.
