This was one of the shocking things that I learned 40 years ago.

Because of the media, I had come to believe that corporations were conservative and capitalist and pro-business, but during the Nixon administration, I learned that they are against much of what I believed in.

The giants soon learned that government interference and affirmative action, regulation, etc. was protecting them as giants, and burning the ladder behind them to kill the smaller competitors and keep out competition.

There is in fact also a revolving door between big business & big government.

I saw a documentary on The Smithsonian Channel about ketchup and it noted H.J. Heinz supported the idea of a Food Act to regulate ketchup and other food products because it would put many of his competitors out of business.

sorry, research; like the Northrop xB-47 vs Convair x B-36, purely political..
the xB-47 was a far superior design, Cold War fears/$$$$ killed xB-47.
