1.In today’s NYTimes, “The former chair of the Federal Trade Commission, Khan explains how shifts that date back to Bill Clinton’s administration allowed monopolists to squeeze out smaller rivals.” Lina M. Khan
2. As I have noted before, there are no experts when it comes to supporting the Democrat Party. All will lie. Ronald Reagan correctly suggested “Trust, but verify.”
3. Contrary to ‘common knowledge,’ the Democrats have been the party of the rich, since FDR. He advanced the propaganda of the New Deal (malefactors of great wealth”) to the contrary, FDR imply endeavored to re-create the corporatism of the last war. The New Dealers invited one industry after another to write the codes under which they would be regulated.
4. Even more aggressively, the National Recovery Administration forced industries to fix prices and in other ways to collude with one another: the NRA approved 557 basic and 189 supplementary codes, covering almost 95% of all industrial workers.
a. The intention was for big business to get bigger, and the little guy to be squeezed out: for example, the owners of the big chain movie houses wrote the codes that almost ran the independents out of business (even though 13,571 of the 18,321 movie theatres were independently owned). This in the name of “efficiency” and “progress.”
b. New Deal bureaucrats studied Mussolini’s corporatism closely. From “Fortune” magazine: “The Corporate state is to Mussolini what the New Deal is to Roosevelt.”(July 1934)
Covered fully in "Liberal Fascism," by Goldberg.
5. The Constitution allows constituents to lobby lawmakers, and the major political party turned this into a bribery industry, with the large corporations dictating regulations that benefit them and hurt small businesses.
In the NYTimes piece, the lying “expert” ignores this current and historic reality.
