Do you shop at any of the companies in opposition??  Do you buy food, gas, clothing, cars or paper products??  Everything you buy originates in some for from a big corporation.  Cloth, toilet paper, peanut butter, bicycle tire, dye for tie dyed shirts, stainless steel for beer kegs and the buses that haul you to the county fair.  All of those will go up in price as well as nearly everything you consume.  Go to Peace Health when you are ill?  Most of the doctors in the state are affiliated with a large medical corporation.
