Yup, crush them and bust them. If not America will be crushed by them and all of our enemies lead by China.

I’ve known Steve personally for almost thirty years and you are in fact correct (we still correspond occasionally since I escaped Mordor). It is the Achilles Heel of free-traders who worship is at the alter of Laissez faire. They would gladly sell weapons to their enemies in order to turn a profit. They have no concept of nationhood and virtue-based culture.

The weird thing is that it is demagoguery only with the dictator in hiding. You have the other elements present but people are not being presented with a concrete alternative so that we can examine it critically. Its like they are trying to avoid Nazism by employing all the the tactics of Nazis and sending all the Jews and Gypsies to the gas chambers but because they have Hitler in hiding and are instead relying on proxies they are trying to maintain a fiction that they aren’t actually Nazis.

Big business today is a whore that is infecting society with all kind of ills.

She needs to be reined in.

Odd article.

The GOP was the original trust busters.

If you read what some of the old trust were doing and their influence, it makes sense.

Now if you want a guild system, were competition is limited or banned, that is different.

Interesting perspective.

My bigger concern is what I am seeing in the ag markets. More convergence now than at any time in our nations history.

Get ready for some radical changes to your diet that you will have no control over.

But then, as now, in every industry that was supposedly controlled by monopolists, prices fell rapidly; energy prices, transportation prices, financial services, cars and mass consumer items became affordable to the middle classes for the first time in world history.

Yeah, it's totally cool that Amazon sells nothing but Chinese made products that put Americans out of work and build Chinese industry. So long as I can buy a $10 toaster, everything is cool with Amazon's monopoly. What a short-sighted moron.

“Really? In our lifetimes, the cost of cellphones has fallen by 95%; the cost of the internet has fallen by 98%; the cost of internet transactions has fallen by more than 80%.”

This is part of the blindness of the neocons, they only judge things based on money. They’ll gladly let the unholy tech alliance illegally collaborate to gain a monopoly on information and manipulate elections, as long as they keep the prices low.

“Stephen Moore is an open borders, globalist hack. Just saying.”

Exactly. Moore is the voice of Bush GOPe corporatism. Actually it’s bipartisan corporatism. Gutting American industry and making welfare serfs of blue collar America has been just fine with both parties.

You’re not supposed to know that out. It spoils Moore’s story.

That has to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever read from Townhall. And as dumb as anything any Democrat mag has spewed in a while. The author is too stupid to pour piss out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel.

Needs a ‘Barf’ alert.
