     CRUSHING SMALL BUSINESS

5/13/2005

Those "free market" ideologues who keep insisting that there's no such 
thing as a corporate class war being waged against the workaday people 
of our country –
might want to take a look at the Bronx Terminal Market in New York City 
for a classic example.

This market is free enterprise in action. Some two dozen very unique, 
independent merchants sell their foodstuffs here, drawing customers from 
as far away as Ohio.
If you're looking for Ghanaian smoked shrimp, hot Jamaican peppers, or 
Philippine sea moss, the Bronx market is your mother lode. These 
merchants are hard-working
folks who start their days in the wee hours, providing the largest 
clearinghouse of ethnic foods on the East Coast.
