Quote by: grandpa Or they can not patronize a business because they the consumer's bidding. It simply could force someone out of business without changing anything outside of that particular collapse.
For example, it would be particularly hard to effecively boycott Coca Cola, as the product is enormously popular for its taste. Equating things such as taste with democracy is simply not adequate. |
How is it hard? If the product is inferior, then it will be boycotted.

Quote by: grandpa First off, the kinds of regulations I want primarily involve laws against businesss dealing with tyrannical governments, polluting in a wanton manner, etc. I am for laws eliminating or reducing coercion an corruption. So, as you should infer, I agree with Libertarians on many things, except for their lenience for banking and private coercion--and their basic denial that businesses are social institutions and therefore require some degree of accountability for legitimacy. |
So you would restrict capitalism because of OTHER countries problems? Makes no sense to me. Companies that pollute would be driven out of business by lawsuits from the people affected. The Federal Reserve puts banks out of the accountability of the American people. That and our reliance on fiat currency rather than a silver/gold back standard. get rid of the regulations and businesses can accountable to the people instead of the government.
