As a non-bloodsucking capitalist, do you buy the most expensive brand of every product/service that you consume? If not, you are driving down the market value of those who produced it.

edit: FYI I am an agorist....I take every opportunity that I can to extricate myself from the tentacles of the State whenever such opportunity benefits me and those that I love.

Pointing out economic laws, indeed human nature itself, is being a blood-sucking capitalist pig. If only we could eliminate humans from the market, oh... LOL

If those on the left really cared about the working poor, they would be vigorous supporters of a restricted immigration policy and be in favor of tight border control. More low skilled workers = lower pay for low skilled workers. It's simple supply and demand. Yet, the left promotes more immigration and loose border policies. Shows how insincere they are.

Sorry, I should have known better. Maybe the responses will be useful for others though who would say those things seriously.

Adopting policies that enable the corporate profits that fund them are, yes. Anyone drawing a pension or from their 401K, etc., benefits from business-friendly GOP policies. That's what makes Democrat voters who do so (or will eventually do so) such ignorant hypocrites. They benefit personally from the very party they "claim" to oppose.
