Who Is the Business Roundtable? -They are a group of CEOs who have made it their business over the past 30 years to buy up our government. Their website is here: http://businessroundtable.org/
What Should We Do About the Business Roundtable? -We should specifically attack their agenda and their actions. They operate behind facades called "PR Companies" that run ads and write news articles to influence public opinion. Why not call them out? We should start a discussion with these people and expose them for who they really are.

From their "about us" page:
Business Roundtable (BRT) is an association of chief executive officers of leading U.S. companies with over $6 trillion in annual revenues and more than 14 million employees. BRT member companies comprise nearly a third of the total value of the U.S. stock market and invest more than $150 billion annually in research and development – nearly half of all private U.S. R&D spending. Our companies pay $163 billion in dividends to shareholders and generate an estimated $420 billion in sales for small and medium-sized businesses annually. BRT companies give nearly $9 billion a year in combined charitable contributions.
