Im all for not trusting mega corporations....but
stop buying stuff and who are you ultimatly hurting?
who will pay you when they go bankrupt...
its a viscious cycle. Are you ready to sacrifice yourself as well as other citizens to accomplish this?

As far as this Blame the government idea...
BLAME YOURSELVES...
WE the LAZY people is more like it.
We dont do ANYTHING to remove crooked politicians, in fact we keep sending them BACK.
We the lax people have not held our representatives accountable, yet we blame them for our lack of energy to DO something about it.

The power of the people has only been subjigated by our lack of effort, not by it being stolen....

I agree, put big companies on notice, hit them in the wallet, the same with politicians, but remember, there is an equal and opposite reaction for these actions...be prepared for unforseen problems...
the road to hell is paved in good intentions
