I don't understand the public's confusion about what's going on. Private corporations naturally seek to limit competition.
The larger ones, as their dominance grows, buy competition and use government influence to enhance this self preservation. Once you're at the top, or sharing space there, what are you going to do?
Wall Street, Health Care, Industrial Ag; all of them oligopolies, with Industrial Ag probably being the closest to monopoly status.
They've essentially bought the government. The Tea Baggers sense this but fail to understand it's the federal government's role to protect public, ie national, interests.
FDR used to be able to say this publicly, and did in his inaugural addresses, knowing he public understood. He actually railed against the lack of ethics in business, and in government. But he knew who was supposed to be on first: The public's corporation, Uncle Sam - you know, Linocln's governemt for and by and ..fuck it...you morons don't actually care about this stuff.
Go watch your American Idol and think you're being politically pro-active by calling Obama "Barry" and having one of them fancy-pants Joker stickers.
Yeah. You know it;s not like the GOP hasn't copted you already for their own purposes. You won't notice.
The TeaBag Troll Contingent here, like the rest of the teabag morons, seems to suffer from Stockholm Syndrome where they crave to be "liked" by their captors. "Yes, but Exxon/DuPont/Monsanto/GM are all about free markets! You must hate free markets you commie small dick person! Why I love free markets! The SUpreme COurt just said these guys can spend all they want on politics now! My kinda fellows, they're my best buds, right?" *hugs Exxon/DuPont/Monsanto/GM, thanks them for being stellar corporate oligarchies
OK everyone. Bend over again and grab your ankles. You know the drill.
