I feel that Obama and the Democratic Congress will swing way too far in the opposite direction of Bush and the Republicans. Yea I believe we still need stop anti-competitive behavior, especially AT&T and others. But am I the only one getting a feeling that they, the U.S., will use Intel as an example of an evil corporation taking excess profit (50%) and paying out HUGE bonuses ($6 million total to CEO)? Yet the results speak for themselves: lower prices and better performance (Moore's Law).
- dantheman 17y agoIf you look throughout history the only monopolies that exist are those granted by the government. Sure standard oil captures a huge chunk of the market (by lowering prices over 90%), but they lose that advantage, by the time antitrust action was taken against them it had already lost a large chunk of its market. Antitrust law was originally passed because of the government involvement in the train industry. Also, regulation increased under bush and so did oversight. We currently have the most regulations we've ever had, decelerating the rate of new regulation isn't actually removing it. Back To Hacking :)
