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.
