The power of these companies needs to be distributed among the people.

So, because Amazon has a business model that everyone loves, and they've grown their business, now they need to distribute their earnings?

At what point do they become to big? Who decides that? The free market should decide how big a company gets, and the company is free to do as they wish with regard to profits, etc. IMHO.

Please do not put communist words into my mouth. I am not suggesting that their earnings be distributed, I am suggesting that their business cannot be allowed to remain under the control of a small corporate oligarchy.

The Bell system was broken up into several regional corporations. Perhaps that is a solution.

I'm not offering specifics, I'm just noting that company such as Amazon will eventually be in the position of wielding enormous power over food and other material distribution, and I believe too much power concentrated in two few hands is a recipe for disaster.

And so I take it you have never heard of "Standard Oil"?

Apart from that, some of these corporations are becoming globe spanning behemoths. They have gotten into the habit of doing what is best for themselves over what is best for the Nations from which they originate.
