Bruce was obviously referring to the 99% of businesses that aren't monopolies. You seem to be the one who has never heard of free enterprise. Not surprised.

I'd bet Weiner boy can't name an actual monopoly currently operating in the US, other than government regulated utilities. There are some near monopolies like MS Windows, but they aren't really exclusive monopolies. There are choices and they can't make you use their product. Actual monopolies are rare. I'll name one .... SIRI SM has 100% of satellite radio. Having a monopoly doesn't mean they can make anyone subscribe. There are lots of alternatives.
