If Congress had not been determined and diligent in breaking the monopolies, every monopoly that had ever formed over the years would still exist today. We know this because never in the history of the world has a monopoly self-dismantled.
The Last Monopolies in America
Despite their best efforts to break the monopolies in America, two remain. They are the Democratic Party and Republican Party. Naturally, they will not use the term “monopoly” because of its negative connotation. Instead, the term “big tent” is used.
Note: Wikipedia defines "Big Tent" as follows:
“In politics, a big tent or catch-all party is a political party seeking to attract people with diverse viewpoints and thus appeal to more of the electorate… In the United States, the big tent concept is practiced today within the Republican Party and the Democratic Party…” (Reference)
The Difference between a “Political Monopoly” and a “Political Party”
A political party is a group of individuals who have the same goals. They band together because their is strength in numbers. A monopoly is different from a political party in that it is comprised of multiple groups with different agendas.
Note: A monopoly is actually an umbrella or “Tent” under which multiple political parties huddle.
Unlike a political party, members of a monopoly have different priorities and agendas. Consequently, a political monopoly cannot put forth a specific concrete platform to which all members agree.
Note: The lack of a specific concrete platform is the distinguishing characteristic of a monopoly.
Members of the same monopoly share the same label (such as Democrat or Republican) but they disagree on goals and therefore policy. Consequently, members of the monopoly cannot get things done once elected to Congress and the respective state legislatures.
Note: This explains why little gets done after elections are over, and why social problems keep getting worse.
In short, the political system today is controlled by political monopolies. Consequently, we should not be surprised the political process is expensive, corrupt, noisy, divisive, inefficient and ineffective.
Note: Being monopolies, the Democratic Party and Republican Party will never self-dismantle. In fact, like monsters, they will continue to get stronger at the expense of citizens.
Because Congress is controlled by Democrats and Republicans, it is incapable of breaking the two remaining monopolies in America. As such, we citizens will have to do the breaking.
Taking Back America
Every elections cycle the Democrats and Republicans promise change. However, because they are “independent operators” (as opposed to “Team Players” working from their party platform), the Democrats and Republicans are forced to campaign on their own ideas. This causes them to need big money to pay for an entourage of speech writers, image makers, pollsters, advertising consultants, producers of commercials, and staff to run their individual campaigns.
The need for big money corrupts the political process. Like drug addicts, their need for an endless stream of money causes them to win favor from supporters at the expense of America and its citizens, including your children.
Note: It is human nature for representatives to compromise on principle and choose policy positions that will win elections. Their behavior is even justifiable considering they have to be in office to do the right thing.
The Democratic Party and Republican Party are responsible for bringing America to its knees. If we trust them once again and give Democrats and Republicans yet another chance, it will all but seal the fate of America and our civilization. Relying on hope or a miracle change from what the Democrats and Republicans have done for decades will insure the loss of freedom, prosperity, security, opportunity, luxury and technology. In short, allowing the Democrats and Republicans to maintain control of Congress in 2016 guarantees our children will face a bleak future.
Whatever you do, don't vote for Democrats or Republicans in 2016.
