I really love how these champions of capitalist free enterprise expect their employees and customers to be educated in taxpayer funded schools, be treated in taxpayer funded hospitals and even travel to and from work on taxpayer funded roads but don't see why they should have to contribute toward them in any way.

It's all provided free for their convenience.

Many also preach about the concept of mutual obligation and bemoan the idea of welfare yet influence politics for their own financial benefit and are often the biggest bludgers of all.

Well put. These groups also quick to accept hand outs, in effect socialising debt while privatising profit. Win-win for the rich and powerful and the lowest paid continue to support these fat cats through low wages and taxpayer funded subsidies, grants or handouts.
