Not really good enough. Cor****ations use this thing called the State to
ensure that one has no choice but to sup****t, regardless of whether one
does business with them or not. This is obvious enough in cases like
Halliburton, but also true of cor****ations in general. See _The
Conservative Nanny State: How the Wealthy Use the Government to Stay
Rich and Get Richer_ [online free at
http://www.conservativenannystate.org/
]. Wal-Mart alone has garnered at
least $1 billion in cor****ate welfare
[http://www.goodjobsfirst.org/cor****ate_subsidy/walmart.cfm
]. One
should also note that in a market economy, unequal concentration of
wealth itself distorts market forces in favor of the wealthy. Kevin
Carson refers to the confusion between a truly free market and really
existing, state-guided markets, with government interference in favor of
cor****ations, as Vulgar Libertarianism. He has a blog that often covers
this and related subjects [http://mutualist.blogspot.com/
].
