WRONG- corporations were legally given “personhood” with the same rights an actual human being has. Look it up. You don’t know what you are talking about.

Time to actually wake up and taste reality Rob N Hood.

There are no such things as good companies and bad companies. This is because corporations do not exist. They are not real in anything other than a virtual construct sense.
There are only good and bad people making decisions under a companies name.

Now reading between the lines in this article it appears to me that the socialists pushing for the climate change act are hinting that since demcractic means of negotiating are failign that they will use that failure as an excuse to impliment non-diplomatic force in order to get your hard earned but guilt racked dollars into their hands.
Just what any good socialist would do, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pott, Mugabe et al would be proud.

And oh, Paul, shame on you for using a vulgar term (hole in the wall). Get out of the gutter!

Thank you for that elementary lesson on being a consumer Paul. I thought of that concept, which is not a bad one mind you, when I was in my teens. My point (I am very tired making it) is this: the multi-nationals have so much power and have cornered the market (monopolized) in so many clever ways that your simplisitic advice is no longer a viable option or answer. I can help a little sometimes, maybe keep a small local business open a while longer, but the big guys have everyone and everything in their sights. To the detriment of course of communities, and medium and small businesses. Your continued denial about this and/or defense of the corporate elite continues to amaze and puzzle me.

True, but that is also not a BIG difference (tax). Most countries pay MUCH more tax. Have you driven our roads lately? Where I live they are BAD… and have been for years. Gas tax helps pay for that obviously. All you guys focus on is tax tax tax. I don’t like them either, but we would not have a semblance of a civilizational without them now would we we? No of course not. You know we are getting ripped off for gas and it’s the oil Shieks and other ultra-elite who are padding thier fat asses, at our expense. This is happening NOW. But you guys aren’t angy about that, no. Instead you focus totally on what may occur at some unkwown point in the future. Being pro-active is great, but you guys put huge blinkers on when it comes to what is actually occurring. I just find that very odd, and very frustrating.

Have you checked out the fed. state and local tax on a gallon of gas lately? If you get rid of those, then you are paying about $2.00 a gallon.

I feel like I’m talking to a hole in the wall. As previously stated. There are good companies and bad just like people. They come and go just like criminals in the night. Mutli-national corporations only exist if YOU and others BUY their product or services!!!! Think about it. (Dems/Rebubs included)

Usually you guys accuse me of postings that aren’t on topic, meaning I post a variety of things, which is true. So which is it?? (again you are contradicting yourself).

Re: the post above- do you really want large mulit-national corporations, that may or may not have the USA’s best interests in mind to have unlimited influence on our political process. Doesn’t that subtract, dramatically, the influence individuals, like you and I have? Isn’t that contrary to what you believe in/want? Why aren’t you angry about, let alone even interested, this issue??

A man/woman that stands for their beliefs is what you call robotic. I read what you post,however, you are “Robotic” like a broken record.

And you wonder why I talk about people being brainwashed. You continue to respond robotically, as if you haven’t even read what I posted.

Theory is fine. Implement your finite definition of “perfect,” not “knee jerk.” You sound, as if you have never ever been in what we in business, call “The trenches.” Reality is we work for it and earn it! Go back to looking up comments/theories in books you read or have not read in school. Degrees are a wonderful thing if used with knowledge/experience behind comments made. Absent “The Trenches,” You lack all credibility. By the way, Climate change is natural. Enough said.

Again- if you bothered to pay attention, and have any amount of open-mindedness you would recall that I am referring to LARGE MULTI-NATIONAL Corporations. These are different entities, to say the least, from ALL other types of businesses. And to cut another long sotry short- it was ONE of the main things our Founding Fathers were trying to get away from when they came here and also why they fought the war of independence.

Some people have no sense for history, or reality beyond their own noses, or how the world really works with regard to things that occur underneath the veneer of respectibility and “what’s good for business is what’s good for everyone” mentality. If you’d truly stop and consider what I am saying instead of the usual knee-jerk reaction of defending entities that not only don’t need your defense but crap on you just as much as anyone else. We all need to wake up to these facts. For example, if you don’t feel ripped off every time you pay more than $2 for a gallon of gas there is something wrong with you. I am not talking about market capitalism, I am talking about libertarian corporatism. There happens to be a BIG difference, which you apparently don’t care to learn about.
