Really ... how? Sounds more like Capitalism. They don't have to go along if they do not feel it's in their best interests.

Let's say I'm starting a new business. I go to you and tell you "Invest in my business or I will steal your car."

You don't HAVE to invest in my business, but you may just be PERSUADED to by the threat of the loss of your car. That is not capitalism. It is extortion.

Nope. Faulty comparison. No one`s taking anything from Texas if they don`t agree to the deal. The deal simply doesn`t happen.
