Monopolies were supposedly evil because they used their market power and domination to gouge consumers with ever-rising prices. 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.

Monopolies are evil because they buy and own governments like ours. Period.

I’m a free-market capitalist, and Sen. Hawley is 100% correct in pursuing this antitrust agenda.

The reason I am paying $150 a month instead of $600 a month for my two business phone lines is because AT&T was broken up.
