Anti-Trust Laws Help Lose Jobs and Hurt Consumers

There always is a debate about what actually is a monopoly. Many on the left consider size alone as the deciding factor, when in the past, the competitive effect on the consumer was always important.

The bottom line as to whether there is a monopoly or not should be the effect on the consumer. If the corporate situation being investigated helps the consumer, then there is no monopoly. The whole intent was the interest of the public.

What is telling is this administration’s position and the support of lawyers, who are always ready to sue. But such plaintiffs do not always have the consumers’ interest at heart.

What about jobs? Any such effects of strict leftward action will be negative as a result. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
