Quote:Here's how I see it, economies only work on small scales, be it socialism, capitalism, communism, there can be case for any one of them working in specific cultures and capacities. However when you have an economy as large, vast and complicated as ours it becomes more difficult to keep an economy pure of corruption and ultimately corruption is what kills an economy. I only advocate capitalism because it gives the consumer the most power to fight corruption, in communism and socialism you're counting on political officials to fight back corruption, I have yet to see that really work out well.

I hear ya. While I'm not in total agreement with your points, there is some truth there.


Consumers do have some ability to shape a large corporation's practices. But only in regards to the product the entity produces. When in comes to corporate governance, such as labor policy, environmental policy, and social policy, consumers have no true voice.


You got to remember, there are 300 million of us in this country. The federal government just by the nature of the population size is gonna be large as well.
