Re: Too Big To Fail?

Nope. It's capitalism. Maybe a bit rampant but still capitalism. The government is actually too big for capitalism to work at its best, evinced by companies who are able to get the playing field tilted by paying off a few folks. That sounds to me like the government has too MUCH power, not too little.

Also, there's PLENTY of competition on the backbone. It's the middle and last miles where people tend to be (but aren't always) screwed.

This is such a ridiculous claim. Basically you want to throw the baby out with the bath water. European countries have equally strong, if not stronger governments and ensure a higher quality of life for the vast majority of their citizens.

The reality is that our government has too many ties with big business. If there were little to no government big business would have nothing to worry about. There would be no one to slap them down or control them.

What we need is a reform of the system that currently businesses to contribute to and influence political campaigns.
