Quote: the G-man said: You have plenty of choices regarding your desire (not need) to patronize large corporations, Ray.
Unless you use only what you need, bare minimum, to survive, you are a voluntary consumer. Unlike taxes, the federal government does not REQUIRE you to shop for nonessentials. Those are all voluntary acts on your part.
Furthermore, the government does not require you to buy nonessential products directly from corporations. You could, as noted above, buy used products, which results in no profit to the corporations. You could also buy only natural products.
You're voting with your checkbook, Ray. And every time you buy a nonessential item your vote is FOR corporations.
lets see. i got the cable not owned by rupert murdoch. i don't eat at big chain fast food. i smoke imported tobacco with few of the extra chemicals in american shit.
i make my choices here and there. but i don't really buy that much beyond essentials. the only thing you can really say i buy that i don't need is comics from Time-Warner and Marvel (whoever the hell owns them).
you, on the other hand clearly support a man who has allowed corporate greed and less pollution standards for air and water.
so...i guess i'm still the hypocrite because i don't like bush.
