> Can us common people get to decide what the common good is, or is that exclusively your choice?

This legislation is the result of democratic process - i.e. decided by the "common people", if indirectly.

> let the greater populace decide that by choosing that product

"The only legitimate power citizens have is that of consumers, not voters." - shall we also decide to only buy from companies that don't use child labor, and don't put toxic chemicals in food, and don't pollute, or are those areas something where legislation is legitimate, while reigning in anti-competitive practices for some reason is not okay?
