End the power of huge corporations -- enforce anti-trust laws

The Problem:

There is too much power and influence wielded over the citizens of the US by a handful of very large and powerful corporations. Americans are spoon-fed poisons in our food supply, we are over-prescribed laboratory chemicals under the guise of medicines, we are told what we will watch, what we will listen to, the news we can access, the clothes we will wear. Our airwaves are full of harmful electro magnetic fields. We must break up the power of huge conglomerates that make these decisions for us in favor of local businesses and healthy competition that would foster the best solutions.

The Proposal:

The US already has enacted antitrust and fair competition laws. These laws prohibit anticompetitive conduct and mergers that deprive American consumers, taxpayers, and workers of the benefits of free competition. These laws have been neglected and have not been enforced by the government players who should have been acting on Americans’ behalf.

Americans insist on the prosecution of the laws we already have in place to break up the big food corporations, the big news and entertainment corporations, the pharmaceutical cabal, the chemical corporations, the communications conglomerates, and the rest.

Break up the monopolies, free suppressed technology and invention, cultivate Made in America and local economy.

I’m for this. Land Trusts with Native Reservations are one of the direct ways the US keeps tribes in sovereignty limbo.

We just need some more direct paths of solution.

That observation is mirrored by a number of representatives. It’s an important one to consider given the monopolistic ownership and consolidation of the media and it’s subsequent negative outcome upon a Free Press. I would include this in the Separation of the Corporatocracy and the State, but wonder if a proposal like mine is so thorough as a check to the status quo, that it’s dead on arrival, so perhaps we’d need to pare down all the different aspects regarding the problems of corporate power in simple single bill solutions, but then group them under an act.
