Uncle Sam's Monopolys

One of the most unfair, yet necessary laws regarding the economy is the law that won't allow a company to become too successful. If a company is so good that the other companies cannot compete, this company is penalized for becoming a monopoly. The only reason why it is necessary is so we keep competition out there, so as to help keep consumer prices down. Why does Uncle Sam get to keep us in check, when he has several monopolys? There are only a handful of schools that dare to take on the public education monopoly, and lots of them are funded by churches and actually lose money. In my town, I have to pay utilities to the city because the privatized power, water, trash, and gas companies aren't allowed here. Thanks to this lack of competition, our city charges each person $15 for trash removal even though apartments share 1 trash bin. Apartments also share 1 sewer hole per building, but we each pay $15 per month for this too. The other services are approx. 15% higher than the private company's cost in the next town over. Before I lived in this town I payed about 70% as much as I do now for utilities. At times these government monopolys even take away freedom of speech and press. Government officials greatly fear what may happen if people start teaching that immunizations do more harm than good, and they prohibit certain publications by doctors or scientists who claim otherwise. If a private company has a monopoly it can be good or it can be awful, as we see from Japan who has many efficient monopolys, yet we also have seen it be a very bad thing for consumers. When a government has a monopoly you know it's bad, because they usually have unions that raise the prices, too many fixed incomes, and lack of business skills in the management. What's worse is that judges often take the side of the little guy in cases with major corporations, but if the government takes advantage of you it's no use trying to fight any injustice done. Anyone who loves democracy and giving power to the people should be very disturbed that the government can prevent us from becoming too successful, yet does nothing to prevent their own monopolys. Who do you think supports these government monopolys? You guessed it, the democrats do because they owe it to the teachers with their unions and lack of competition. They owe it to the city workers where 1 man works and 4 men watch. Why do they owe it to them? The reason is because these people vote democrat because they're the ones who protect their little monopoly.
