I thought I was Libertarian for a while. Still not sure I'm not in theory, but I'm not even in the ballpark of their party. They are nothing more than not-totally-socialist liberals.
The thing is I would love to keep all of this de-regulated, but it's clear that just won't work. At the sake of sounding extremely Communist (which is close to the pinnacle of insults to me), I just don't think these mega-corporations can be allowed to keep going. I love capitalism, but when it's nothing but giants that either buy up or crush the competition, you have what we are dealing with today. There's a lot of things I just can't find a small local business to buy from--price and all aside they just don't exist anymore. The bad part is I haven't the slightest idea how to fix it. I think regulation, such as Justice Thomas is suggesting here, is probably the best way. Otherwise, break them up--and watch them rise right back up.
