I think we should something about the special interestes that are sucking on the teats of our government, but that something will never be accomplished by breaking up companies.
If the people who want to break companies want to do that because they think those companies have been manipulating the government in their interests, these people should think again: isn't breaking up a company a government action? Isn't the act of breaking up a company a government act that could -- and probably will -- be influenced by a company?

Here's my point: I too am hesitant to break up monopolies for most circumstances, but compared to the rampant regulatory capture that's happening all around us every day, it's almost a non-issue. We should focus on the policies that are actively undermining free economy principles before we shoot for lofty standards.
