If my grocery store starts selling poor quality food, I can replace them in an instant. I buy my gas from Shell. if Shell does something I don't like, I can buy gas from Exxon. In the corporate world, I have complete choices every day of where 100% of my efforts go. In the government world, I have a very small choice once every 2, 4, 6 years where my efforts go. I take choice any day. |
If Obama doesn't do what 50% of Americans do, he is gone in 2 years. Same goes for every other politician in a democratic system, if they don't keep the people happy then they are gone. To argue that you don't have choice in a democratic system is insane.
It doesn't matter who you buy gas from, BP will still make the same amount of profit as long as oil prices stay high. The only way you can affect BP as a consumer is not to buy gasoline. Not a realistic choice. Same goes for countless other companies. For instance, it doesn't matter what grocery store you go to, you have to get your meat from Smithfield or Tyson. I am forced to get internet from Comcast and I am forced to get water from American Water, and if I don't like it then I can wait for my dial-up to load webpages while I take a bath in Dasani water.
