"I vote with my wallet."

That's the whole point (and the beauty) of the free market.

I shop at Wal-Mart for the low prices. Apparently, however, one of the ways Wal-Mart is definitely NOT a free-market entity is the following:

They apparently are enthusiastic about using the power of eminent domain to have city governments take people's private property and then turn it over to developers... because the governments are extremely greedy for more tax money, and they will get more tax money out of a Wal-Mart than from, say, a bunch of small private property owners. Costco is another entity that is engaged in similar practices.

I listened to a speech by Neal Boortz on this very issue this past weekend at the Libertarian Party National Convention. Next time I see an article about city governments stealing private property so the city government can practically give away the property to a developer or a Wal-Mart or Costco, I'm gonna write an absolutely rabid letter against it.
