lets say bush and cheney were impeached .
Now what do we do about the corporatist control of this country . This is a huge problem . Not many people are willing to boycott these corporations by not buying their products or using their services .

Part of the problem is corporate lobbys driving our government and it appears both sides are getting their pockets lined .

So what is there that we can do about this beside hoping campaign funding is going to change .

The corps have us in a strangle hold and decide what our value is as an employee . They are the ones who outsource our jobs and the ones who hire cheap labor and force us to compete when we can't compete .

Without unions and without a fair wage we have no power or control over our lives .

1. Rolling boycotts of Red Corporations
Edited on Wed May-30-07 07:05 PM by magellan
This month, Walmart. Next month, Exxon/Mobil. Et cetera. Don't stop until they get their filthy whatevers out of our government.

Don't ask me how we get enough Americans to go along with it to have the desire impact on each corp in turn. But if we can say Bush** and Cheney were impeached, we can also say we know how to get a massive rolling boycott going.

edit: thinking Walmart, typed McDonalds. Must be dinner time, lol

2. "These Corporations"
It would be rather difficult to boycott everything made by a corporation.
You would have to deal with only partnerships and sole proprietorships.
There are some retail stores like that, but the only goods MADE by
non-corporate entities are usually hand-made crafts and the like.

It would be rather silly anyway. Not all corporations are evil, and not all
sole proprietorships and partnerships are "good".
