Yeah, I suspected you were thinking that was what we were saying. Which is why I said we're talking past each other.
"Our" side is saying that wal-mart is actually playing and creating big government for their exclusive corporate benefit. See the emminent domain, tax subsidies, and road reconstruction points. Complaining about the health insurance as big government issue is like a raindrop in the pond compared to what the corporations are doing to create and foster big government. To recap your side's argument (from "our" perspective): 1) Big government is bad when it helps the individual. 2) Big government is good when it helps corporations profit and control government.
