We have broken up monopolies before, the world didn’t end nor the economy collapse and amazingly enough people still accumulated wealth.

After Israel capped bank executive pay at $1 million:
*Share prices still went up
*Exec turnover didn't go up
*Bank performance didn't get worse

It's almost like CEOs don't really need $30 million a year to care about their job

The only one that I know of that didn’t work that way was slavery.

In 1860 when it was legal to own Black people, Mississippi was the 5th wealthiest state. In 1865 it was the poorest. It still is.

Just who writes those regulations you claim control business?
You think the people you elected are doing that?
Or lobbyists paid by business?

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
