The last truly effective anti trust, IMO, was when Ma Bell was broken up.

But about ten years ago they started letting the mini Bells Re-consolidate.

We have gotten back to the old Morgan, Carnegie robber Baron days.
But at least JP Morgan and his contemporaries actually built something.
They laid the foundation for the American industrial age.

The Wall Street Barons just skim the cream from the top and get out before the bubble bursts.

Gosh, I had no idea that "Occupy Wall Street" was still around, much less that it had taken up residence on FR.

Do us all a favor and police the area a little better when you break camp, okay???
