I can - I buy from local butchers, local greengrocers etc, only free range or organic meat, try and stick to veg grown in Enlgand and in season etc. But I have a disposable income. I choose not to shop at Asda/Walmart because I can afford not to. The poor don't really have a chioce but to buy the cheapest.
As for should the guy who found a cure for cancer be taxed? Of course, if he turns it into a business or whatever. But then I'd hope that whoever did would make it free and available to everyone.
If everyone is taxed on income so should the guy who found the cure for cancer. I don't think anyone should be taxed on income. It makes no difference to me what he wants to charge for it either. Whatever he wants to charge is fine with me.
Everyone can afford to make a choice. No one is free from the responsibility of a decision. There are people who live in trees and do not consume anything and live off little money, if any at all. When you value something in the world you must use your time, energy, money, etc. to create it. When you say hate rich monsanto investors but buy monsanto broccoli for $2.60 because you have no money to buy the higher quality $5.20 broccoli, you clearly don't hate monsanto that much.
Businesses are simply reflections of the values, needs, and wants of the people. If this isn't the case for some business please let me know.
