I'm not a Randroid. Are you going to address my comment or make assumptions based on things that aren't anywhere in my comment.

@Yankhadenough This ignores the fact that our middle class is already being eroded by statism. It also assumes that all libertarians are rich and only want to benefit the rich.
-
@Yankhadenough Depends on the libertarian. Some liberatarians, anarcho-capitalists like myself, don't see the need for a constitution since I don't feel it gives us anything other than a small govt to be exploited by.
Minarchists, on the other hand, are more likely to be consitutionalists.
Do your homework.

@drgincali Does the truth matter so little to you?
-
@ArthurPonzarelli Did they even work in the same industry?
-
We can dig up lots of facts and base our theories on studies of this bit of history or that, but then we're just fighting from separate battlements. Often the truth just requires a little thought.

Fear the robber baron! Just as the church uses the fear of the devil to keep people from straying, the state uses robber baron mythology to keep people in it's house of worship.

@drgincali I like my bubble.

@ExquisiteDoom No problem. I didn't go out of my way at all, it was my pleasure. Enjoy living in your little bubble of exquisite doom.

@drgincali Wow, you went out of your way to try and refute Molyneux by calling these people cheaters and murderers. Good rebuttal, jackass.

The RBs were each others competitors! There were no RBCs in the form offered in this video. The RBs got together to end their problem of competition and form one giant monopoly.
It isnt a matter of customer preference when there isnt any choice!

I take it that the RBCs pushed antitrust legislation because they offered the politicians more money than the RBs would. But why didn't th the RBs fight back by offering politicians more money than the RBCs?????
The RBs surely had more money and contacts to do this. Right?

Why do you think that is the case? :)

Because the Rockefellers and Carnegie, et al, are said to have been fabulously wealthy. And, as you said, they made the better products, better delivery chains, better pricing, etc. So they must have also had the most friends in high places, lawyers, and money to buy the legislators/politicians to make sure to protect the freedom they needed to continue to thrive and beat the competitors.

Right, so why do you think this did not happen?
