I believe that saying something like "that's exactly what an anarchist would say" is too cut and dry to assume such notions. I think that someone like Robert is going to appeal to any rhetoric that furthers his credibility as a good business man. Therefore, keeping taxes and large government out of the equation is part of good business but is applicable to an anarchist as well. There is validity in the demonization of such terms because there is still a large consensus that believes that distrust of government and order is somehow not American or patriotic. Surely, that is a bunch of nonsense and not grounded in logic but as you are aware, biased belief systems reign supreme over common sense. I'm not sure if Robert would do anything or everything for monetary gain but I don't know him personally nor his history with Vietnam. I wouldn't be surprised if he's like many of the wealthy entities that sacrifice morality in the name of maximizing the bottom line, but who knows? You might have put some things into perspective for Robert despite pissing him off a bit.
