Libertarians are NOT about rich corporations

Name: Anonymous 2007-06-21 19:38 ID:ziU8y+3K

Libertarians are mostly about small businesses. We want the government out of business affairs so that it's easier for small businesses to flourish.

Lefties always argue that "libertarians only care about the big corporations. without the government restricting them, they will monopolize and rule the world.". In fact it's the opposite. The big corporations love these restrictions because they are making it really hard for small businesses to even get off the ground, let alone compete with them.

Basically, libertarians want to make it easier for people to start their own businesses, and have less people relying on corporations for their salaries. More businesses means more competion, and a less crowded job market which makes it a lot harder companies to overwork and underpay their employees.

Yes.
If a monopoly has arisen without government intervention (i.e. by its own means in a near-totally free market economy), it is due to it being the supplier of the products most desirable to the largest number of people; presumably because those products are the best or most suited for said number of people.
In other words, a monopoly that arises in a free market will be the best alternative for the majority, and those that have other demands form a niche that other companies can fill.
A monopoly is not inherently evil, contrary to most people's beliefs, but they can become evil if they have governtment suppoort and thus become unaffected by the self-regulating nature of a free market.

But, then again, I'm on a Ayn Rand-spree right now, so maybe I'm biased. Go think about it for yourselves.
