I don't think the small business investor analogy holds any water because it's not the same thing. The government doens't "buy into" the business, but rather it comes in, sets an arbritary limit as to how profitable the business can be, and then lets that profit go up in certain instances in exchange for ownership. A better analogy is Paulie from the Sopprano Crew showing up and asking for a 25% stake in exchange for "protection."
