"There is a solution, one that would restore competition and its benefits, including innovation and job creation, quickly. Bring back the trust busters to break up industries with obscene corporate concentration." Of course, I agree with this, but it is unlikely with the crop of ignorant politicians and, an electorate that do not have the foggiest idea what competition is. They actually think oligopolies compete in and economic sense. It goes hand in hand with the fact that psychopathic behavior is actually admired in western culture today when it comes to business and political leaders. Just watch anything from Hollywood, it tends to lionize the people that display these characteristics. The business world certainly does lionize them. The is the part of the argument that terrorists have right, though their actions in response cannot be condoned--the dominant philosophy of the west is a debauched form of freedom. It is "Slap a freedom label" on anything and it is all good.
