If growing big is evil then and anti-trust laws are to be enforced upon bigness then the entire government, by the people and for the people should be immediately shut down, because it was voted for by us, we chose it over other forms of government and it is friggin huge, talk about out of control with regulations.

This alone would make it ready for anti-trust lawsuits, with its finger on the flow of everything and in the colon fudge cake of everyone, every company and obviously up there own. You are looking for a retraction, doubtful if you would get one from someone who studies the flow and the cogs in the wheels of commerce, no apologies here, I am absolutely serious because a complete overhaul is needed.

It is a complete joke, only it is NOT funny, because we are talking about the future of the greatest nation in the world and the rest of the planets future depends on our example to follow in the next time one following this present period. Lets look at this from a distance.

When our Oil Companies here in the US wish to merge to create the economies of scale to compete, they go through 18 months of regulatory review and every congressman wants to go up to the podium to tell us what they think (actually why we should keep voting for them).

Then these same oil companies are told they must divest themselves of certain pipelines, retail outlets, subsidiaries, trading rooms, etc. The consumer gets a better price when these larger companies can compete with the Cartels and can deliver for less. We force them to go offshore and own interests in the cartels to stay competitive.

Our stock market, your mothers 401K and fathers pension do better when subsequent market sectors are more efficient and profitable. Especially those involving large industry and when the flow of fuel has profitable years and decades, steady growth in the market helps the strength of our nation.

It is interesting that we allow foreign competitors more latitude than our own companies and then we create a hostile environment in the regulatory bureaucracy and cause our companies to move jobs, factories, refineries, etc to those same foreign lands. One might have to ask exactly whose team are we on?

Lets face it, the growth of a business from small to large is a testament of commitment and hard work by the team running that company and their value to the consumer and my friends that is merely survival of the fittest and best prepared to take advantage of opportunities to serve the desires of the customers. Just like the republic or Democracy government voted into power by the people is a sign of the strength, trust and will of the people.

John D Rockefeller was a great man and delivered fuel to the people and enabled us to move the ball forward as we modernized our civilization.

J. Paul Getty once said;

"I believe that the able industrial leader who creates wealth and employment is more worthy of historical notice than politicians or soldiers".

Well I support our troops, so I would not make that statement in public, but I definitely agree about the politicians, very well said Sir. We must thank the entrepreneurs and capitalists of the world and stop hurting their forward progression as they bring us those flows of civilization, like the flow of fuel, which has helped our industrial might make the United States the powerhouse leader in World Economics.
