<p>You don’t know what you’re talking about. If company A has the money to price goods and services against the market, they have the money to simply buy out Companies B-Z. Ever hear of “Hostile Takeover”? If Company A can get a hold of 51% of the share of Companies B-Z they can effectively force the dissolution of any company that would dare compete with them. You don’t think they’d do it? Well go look up “Standard Oil.” THAT’S the reason Antitrust laws were put in place. </p>
<p>These businesses are the same businesses that denies a customer’s insurance claim that so obviously should have been paid out, and had to be SUED into doing so. These are the same businesspeople that let Enron happen, and worse yet, RAN Enron. THAT’S why Sarbanes-Oxley was put in place. I don’t trust these idiots enough to leave them to their own devices.</p>
<p>Your theory assumes one thing that America so obviously doesn’t have: EDUCATED CONSUMERS. A vast majority of Americans are the types of consumers who would get repeatedly screwed by a business and repeatedly buy its product and services to save 1 cent. Your theory assumes that all consumers are looking out for their own interests: meaning, if they get screwed by a business once, enough consumers would boycott it that the business would go out of business. Not true. Last I looked, airlines are still in business.</p>
