I watched the recent antitrust congressional hearing involving Facebook, Amazon, Google and Apple.
From it, it's clear that many small businesses have fallen prey to anti-competitive behavior at the hands of these corporations.
But the problem seems to be that these corporations are so large that they are not even capable to stop their own employees from engaging in these anti-competitive behaviors even if they had the will for it and even if they had policies in place to try to prevent it.
In other words, these companies are not able to regulate themselves.
We don't let people get away with transgressions, why do we allow corporations to get away with them?
If corporations are to be treated like persons under the law, they ought to be held to the same level of accountability as persons too.
If a person committed minor transgressions against millions of people, they would be held accountable. Why don't we do the same for corporations??
As it stands today, corporations have more rights than people. To change this, it's crucial that we put power back into the hands of people and the best way to do this is by giving people money.
