Big business does not control us. Nay, we in fact control them! Without our patronage, huge bloated companies, with all their political clout and influence, shrink and deflate like a fully-expanded child's balloon released to fly free until all its captured air has been expelled. I will assure you that I am neither naive about individual political clout nor do I misunderstand how the system works. I am not so delusional as to believe that isolated citizens refusing to buy products, or access services, will make a great impact on corporate America. However, collectively the American people still possess the greatest amount of political clout (i.e., their votes) in this country, not to mention their collective economic impact on corporations and conglomerates...
