Strengthen Monopoly laws
Large corporations have a place in our country and always have but are not the only way. Something is to be said about the loss and satiability we had with smaller businesses. Regional diversity and unique attributes in regards to business have become indistinguishable.
This is a loss of American culture, dependences on large corporations for regional stability, unattractive to tourism, and less opportunity for the average Americans to contribute to Americas growth.
In this day and age, this is extremely important. The very foundation of American Enterprise comes from entrepreneurial roots. It is easy to forget that.
Of course there are benefits and drawbacks to all styles of business, but it is only through diversity and a level playing field that those unique characteristics can be allowed to succeed by their own accord.
Consider how innovation works. It is almost always created by individuals or small teams and rarely through the institution. But the small teams lack the distribution expertise to bring their ideas to a wide market and the benefit of all. It is a naturally symbiotic relationship that we have allowed to become one-sided at the expense of consumers and citizens.
In recent years, the conglomerate and international business has used incendiary and anti-competitive practices as the norm for ensuring "success" rather than through true honest competition and diligent innovation. We encourage this behavior by allowing large companies to threaten and destroy smaller and more competitive industry.
Regional abolishment of corporate personhood (they are not human) would go a very long way towards transforming our current culture of sociopathology-for-profit. The last result of dependency on large corporations- for employment, goods, or services is regional stability. Support locally owned businesses, create secure sustainable communities.
The new Monopoly is " Too big to Fail"
