Here’s your problem: Those “500 titans of industry” all vote Democrat and give to liberal candidates and causes. All so as to destroy small competitors by using the power of the state to given themselves de facto monopoly or oligopoly control. It is as if, in an absurd backwards way, Marx is right: the wealthy ruling class fattens itself on the back of the producers, but in reality they do so by using Marxist means. The producers, in this case, are the true capitalists, entrepreneurs and small-to-medium sized business owners who see their ideas destroyed and their wealth appropriated for bailouts by those 500 titans of industry.

Hmmm.... I don’t believe I said it could be done... The book was about convincing a few hundred to go on strike, crippling the country. That would be easier, if possible. But I don’t think that’s an option. At all.

Which is why I said we need a grassroots discussion of accomplishing durable change in our nation. I have yet to find such a thing, anywhere. Not even here.

Yeah. Apparently, the biggest corporations collude with the government to get laws passed that favor them over their smaller competitors. Stuff like that.
