My memory of history classes (near ancient by now) says that anti-trust legislation first came about to control John D. Rockefeller and Standard Oil.

The big court case ended up being the Northern Securities Trust, which was Morgan's baby, but TR's anti-trust vision was pretty broad. It certainly wasn't confined to any one particular oligarch.

I really do oppose real distortions in free markets.

I don't oppose imaginary ones created by liberals.

I always worry about these big oil companies always funding environmental ads, PBS documentaries, and liberal politicians. You'd think they had overlapping directorates with the Sierra Club they're so cozy with each other.
