Two hundred and fifty years ago there weren't corporations as we know them. The colonists needed to wage an actual revolution to break free of England. I don't think corporations had anything to do with it.

And not eating out or taking vacations would deprive me a heck of a lot more than it would any corporations.

Getting people to understand how things actually work and to stop voting against their own self interest is our only hope.
