    Did you drive anywhere on a road today? If so you’ve already been given more from public spending than you will ever get from Coca Cola.

    Government money does a lot of really important things. If you want those things to better reflect your priorities then you need to get more involved in the process (especially at the municipal level, where you will see the most direct impact from government spending).

      No doubt that it does. However, pretending like the world would be a perfect place if those darn corporations would just pay all their taxes is foolish.

        Making giant corporations pay their taxes is one tiny piece of a very large puzzle. But you need every piece to finish a puzzle.
