Hawley: Monopolies and Liberty Are Not Compatible, Corporations Shouldn’t Be Able To Override the Voters Will

RUSH EXCERPT:

HAWLEY: “Well, what would do, tucker is actually put the American people back in control of their democracy. No longer these corporations. We’ve got to remember what our founders knew, which is that monopolies and liberty is not compatible. No corporation should be so big that it controls the political process that can it can override voters. That is exactly what today’s megacorporations who have gotten big and fat. Here is what I am trying to do. First of all, I would break up the big tech companies. Make them a spin-off of their various parts. First off, Amazon should not be allowed to have the dominant platform and be able to control the cloud. It would break up big corporations. No more mergers and acquisitions by the biggest companies in America. Don’t allow the big banks to get bigger. Tough new penalties for corporations that violate our trust laws. And also a new ability for a prosecutors to go after these trusts. A new focus for antitrust law, which is this. It ought to be about promoting competition. Freedom is protected when there’s competition, not when there’s a monopoly.”
