Walmart V The U.S. Government. A Free People Choose Walmart

Corporations use humans as units of production.  Or, as one law firm partner said of his associates, “billable units.”  Humans use corporations for a paycheck.  Each is attempting to prostitute the other.  Sometimes the corporation gets the best of you; sometimes you get the best of the corporation.

Neither the employee nor the employer is evil.  It makes no sense to speak of “evil” when people are making voluntary transactions.  A company can only be evil when it enslaves.  Wal-Mart might not care about its employees, but it does not compel its employees to work.

The consensus, though, is that Wal-Mart is evil.  What does that say of the United States Government?  If you work, the government forces you to tithe.  The government forces you to spend money supporting corrupt institutions like Goldman Sachs.  I can quit Wal-Mart.  I can’t quit the government – at least if I don’t want to end up in prison.

Why is it that people so willing to recognize the evil of corporations nevertheless want to grow the federal government?  If Wal-Mart is evil, what is the U.S. Government?
