16. Almost everytime you hear, "But it would hurt small _____!"
...what they really mean is that it would hurt BIG _____, and big (whatever) is using the small (whatever) as astroturf.

For example, Llook at the arguments about things like farm subsidies. The VAST majority of farm subsidies go to huge factory farms owned by multinationals. But they always find some guy in coveralls who only owns 20 cows to show up to speak in it's favor, you know...
