The thing is, aside from necessities, we have a choice in whether we buy from the big corporations. They don't have a choice in whether they pay the taxes. (Well, they shouldn't at least. But loopholes do be a thing.)

We can out of corporate garbage and choose to support smaller, local businesses at any time.

Do you have a non-corp choice in grocery stores in your area? Do you have a choice in electricity provider, natural gas, water, ISP? Any choice you think you have is a marketing tool, even farmers markets have people re-selling grocery store produce as "locally sourced".
