Okay, let me get this straight: Bad: - Gov't forcing wal-mart to give workers a certain level of healthcare.
Good - Gov't using emminent domain to take land from citizens and small-businesses to give to wal-mart. - Gov't giving subsidies and incentives to wal-mart that they don't give to other businesses. - Gov't redoing roads, highways and interstates in order to accomodate wal-mart, which they don't do for smaller businesses. Note that taxes have to be raised to do this. - Gov't supporting morality legislations to appease wal-mart's business model. See, the point isn't that free-market capitalism is bad and leads to companies like wal-mart. If that's what you think we're saying, then we're talking past each other. This isn't about ultra-left liberalism. The point is that wal-mart isn't playing free-market capitalism. They're playing corporate owned government. The people are supposed to be the government, but when they're locked out of the process like happens here then you just have corporations running the show and people are just mere vassals. I understand why you, Gruss, would support this. But I don't understand why Tim does.
