But if competition is allowed to be driven out, the consumer suffers.

I know you believe that and that I will never change your mind. When I discuss free enterprise with people, it's the one impossible subject.

All I can tell you is that history shows that the freer the market, the higher the standard of living. All laws that try to help "Mr Market' just make it worse. What we don't have, especially in other countries, is a fair and just judicial system to keep it that way. Transparency is the key.

You subscribe to a nasty myth that simply won't die. LB has responded with several references that barely touch on the subject. Thoroughly investigating them is a bigger undertaking than most will commit to.
