Newt Gingrich - I'm not a Citizen of the World

[Detroitej72]

Coercive government owned or endorsed [[corporate socialistic) monopolies kill competition...Free market monpolies do not.

Then how do you explain Standard Oil and J.D. Rockefeller driving all the competition out of business before the government[[rightly) broke up his empire?

If a large company does such a good job at delivering the highest quality at the lowest price, then they have earned their success. They must continue to perform at this high level to stave off upstart competition from out doing them....everyone wins.

show me one instance where a monopolistic company has done what you said, bats.

[ccbatson]

Can't be done Rb because of the unconstitutional antitrust laws...I suppose we would have to go back to a time before said laws to find that example, however, it would have no contextual meaning if we did.
