> But businesses didn't want a free market with many competitors. Those who own capital did not want competition, businesses never want competition but are forced by good governments to deal with it, in this case the government which the Capitalists own did nothing to stop them. SMEs were larger part of the US economy than big business. Now big business is using tech to destroy SMEs, or even various protected monopolies like taxis. These are not political decisions, they are capital backed decisions. They can be undone only with an organized populace. So far the propaganda war has been won by capital. But the populace is quickly becoming disillusioned by the American Dream. And so the rich have scapegoated immigrants. But that's only going to work for so long.' Most growth in the US has been and continues to be captured by Capital. Entrepreneurs usually get a small piece... Capital does most of the work and those who own it eat most of the pie when it grows. Disparity grows and power becomes consolidated. They buy up more and more patents to keep competition out. They make third world countries into their bitch. It's a vicious cycle of perfected power consolidation that needs to be broken up. It's not healthy for anyone... other than idiot consumers that will buy anything advertised not caring about who is producing it, on what terms, and who it's hurting and whether or not it's sustainable. All things you buy have to be replaced and if there is no competition and all these monopolies than the things that you own, like you car, will eventually own you through the loan you will pay to buy it... Same goes with all things which will be reduced to services owned by a few which collect most of the profit.
