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.
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.
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.
Fair enough.
Money is power.
You have repeatedly suggested that the "power" of a company that has (in your opinion) gotten "too big" needs to be "reallocated" among the people. This belief is at the heart of the communist ideal. Those who "have not" covet those who "have" so they band together to steal it while disguising their theft as a "return of the power to the people."
Monopolies *only* exist with the authority to use force - not against the public, but against their competition. Any company that becomes a monopoly does so not because they get too big and then begin wielding force, they do so because the guns of government are already standing behind them in the form of corporate tax loopholes, government contracts, research grants, licensing restrictions, wage laws, union contracts, labor laws, and oceans of other laws, rules, and regulations that fence off the ability of smaller competitors to enter the market.
You can't fix a problem with more of the problem any more than you an fix cancer with more cancer. You have to excise it.
You want to end monopolies? Get the government out of the business of doing business.
