It's millionaire reporters "accessing" multi-millionaire politicos Sunday

You could add to this list the numerous fake S-Corp pass-through "small businesses" like Bechtel which made $30 billion and is not small at all. It is now held by less than 100 people in its charter so it gets to call itself "small" and receive special tax advantages. These are mainly the small business that Boehner talks about in total dollar volume.
