Sometimes, small vendors make the price of an item such that it comes out to an even dollar amount with tax. That is nice.

Small vendors are not "companies". ;-)
Will always support small vendors over " "companies".
Unfortunately most people think democracy = capitalism which is not true.
Capitalism is the furthest from democracy from any of the ism's...
Centralized vs decentralized capitalism. As G. K. Chesterton put it, "The problem with capitalism is that there are too few capitalists."
Capital is naturally centralized with new tech, like steam looms, computers, or space flight. But as tech matures, I can buy an automatic loom for my workshop for a few hundred $$, I have a powerful computer on my lap and another in my pocket, and in a few decades if civilization doesn't collapse again families will be able to buy a used spaceship and go on a tour of the solar system.
Capitalism stays unnaturally centralized when globalists convince people that it is too inconvenient to own anything (and thus be responisble for it).
