Well then we have found common ground. Progressives arent anti corporations, we are for forcing corporations to be socially responsible. If conservatives are willing to help with this then both sides can punish corporations which exploit all of us, conservatives, liberals, etc.

The only reason companies like Walmart can go around taking advantage of us is because progressives and conservatives fight on culture instead of looking for mutual solutions.

I'm not talking about what unions do. Unions were fine for the past but what I'm thinking about now is conservatives and progressives coming together behind a goal. Such as the goal of forcing corporations to be personally responsible for their actions just as individuals are. If conservatives promote personal responsibility, and corporations are deemed personhood, why not demand corporations take personal responsibility?

Don't think I'm anti corporation, because a corporation which hires me and treats me right, I'll work for that corporation. I'm not anti corporation, I'm not concerned with how I survive as long as there is a clear path and method which allows me and every other American who works hard to survive. I'm for closing the borders because it actually helps Walmart keep wages low.

Now, your comment about corporations moving overseas, GOOD. I hope Walmart moves overseas and stays overseas. If you think we should have a lower standard of living, how can you say you are pro America? How can we remain the greatest country on earth if we don't keep or wages high and our economy strong?

If you really want us to compete globally, without consumers fighting for wage increases, then we need a global currency, a global government force to fight corporate corruption, and we need to provide Americans with every advantage we can over the global competition. What are some conservative ideas for doing this? I see you are listening to my ideas but I'd like to hear some of yours.
