J/W do you get excited to shop at Walmart, or is your problem that people are happier shopping somewhere else? I can't figure out the point. Do you think supporting small business is a left aligned practice and you just need to let people know how much hate you have available? Or do you just lack the perspective to make meaningful content from your basement? It's ok to be a lurker if you don't have anything important to say.
Ahh yes, supporting le petit bourgeoisie and their dreams to become a small business tyrant ....... Totally a central tenet of socialist theory.
The problem with small business owners is that they overwhelmingly support the conservative machine because the actual upper class throw them bones to use them as a political buffer between themselves and the working class.
The simple fact is that most small businesses are dependent on tax breaks and low minimum wages to stay in business, and are often worse and more dangerous places to be employed than larger corporations.
