Tens of millions are poor in America so .001% of our population can be very very rich, for no other reason than that their money floods Washington. Nothing you don’t already know but somehow it always seems to me to bear repeating. #WealthTax

No, but even if I was I would feel the same way. And I know very rich people who do.

But I watch the NEWS!
By the way, just to help you out, most monopolies are created and promoted by governments. If you have a level playing field, they wouldn't manifest. For example, GOOGLE, has lots of ties to the government, and without those ties, they would not be the monopoly they are today.
Then you have Amazon, which gets a sweet deal on shipping from the post office. Government gives preferential treatment in the form of tax incentives, and the basic regularity structure favors huge enterprises over small start ups, and that's how you get MONOPOLIES
Well I just told you how governments help create monopolies. Instead of responding directly to those points you give vapid regurgitated talking points. So that's a win for me.
Ok, so lets see, is government about creating a, "level playing field." Correct me if I'm wrong, but has any government in history created a, "level playing field?" Government ALWAYS creates inequity. Pure capitalism, with limited government, gives the most level playing feild
What people like you can't seem to understand is that all government is is a group of PEOPLE, tasked with certain responsibilities and POWERS. Government is not some benevolent magical deity, it is a collection of FALLIBLE, SELF INTERESTED PEOPLE.
Yes but government will ALWAYS be bought out by those who have the most wealth or power. Less government=less oppurtunity for it to be corrupted and less preferential treatment. simple. Capitalism is nothing but the free use and exchange of property, nothing more, nothing less.
Government creates the radical power imbalance. that's what its there to do: control power. Again, nothing will ever stop people--which is what government actually is--from being corrupt. So the less power you give to those people, the better for everyone.
Lets look at the soviet union for example. On paper everyone was supposed to get treated the same "according to their needs." Did that actually happen in practice? NO. Has it ever? NO. I should know because I was born in a satellite country of the soviet union.
