We need to break up the monopolies.
Advertisements [?]
What monopolies? You might ask?

For starters, we could begin with the big banks and the big oil companies. They have concentrated their wealth and power in very few hands in the last few years. The banks have become too big to fail. The oil companies have consolidated into about 5 large conglomerates that control the prices of oil and gas to the detriment of all the people.

For example, Exxon-Mobil became too big when they were permitted to become one company. They should be split up. The same goes for all the big oil companies. Instead of five big companies, they should be split into 15 or 20 companies. The same goes for the big banks. Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Bank of America, etc.

We need a trust buster at the head of this government. Those folks are screwing us big time and there is no one fighting for us, the people. We need to break up these monopolies.
