Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip
You can buy the whole world in just one trip
And save a penny cause it's jumbo size
They don't even realize
They're killin' the little man
Oh the little man

I've been pondering this a little more recently. How often do we purchase average quality commodities off a production line, helping fund someone's third bach or tenth car? Meanwhile small enterprises lose the ability to pay their bills and are forced to shut down. Families lose their means of support and quality products drop out of the market. Many small businesses have closed their doors over the last eighteen months. More are likely to over the next eighteen. I wonder how many of us could easily support them and at the same time stock our pantries and homes with higher quality items than we usually would. Can we stop killin' the little man?
