A quick morning thought before I head to work:
Just for shots and giggles lets pretend that companies are in fact "too big to fail". And of course our saving them with our money is a huge gamble. Nobody disagrees with this. So then, why don't we hear any legislation on limiting the size of some of these institutions. I think limiting size should also be done for other industries such as agriculture. Wouldn't our country be better off if the people that actually farmed the land also owned it - like it used to be? What are your thoughts?
I know some people will say that is not the "free market". I say that it is much more free than the current one. Look at how megabusiness has corrupted our political system and rigged the game. Resticting size is a fair rule because it is applied to all. It's like changing the size of a football team. Does this ruin competition? Of course not. The rule is simple and applied to all therefore it is absolutely free as can be.
