I am tempted to jump into the middle of the "Big Business" debate, but I won't. I will only say that the majority of Americans work for small employers (those with fewer than 100 employees). The big boys got big through mergers, acquistions, etc. They should be allowed to get as big as they want, as long as they do not become either a monopoly or an ologopoly. The wealth created by a few certainly benefits those few, but it also benefits many, many others. Those "workers" become adept at their jobs and that training is often the jumping off point for creating/starting their own business. I WONDER HOW MANY OF US MUDCATTERS OWN OUR OWN BUSINESS? That would be an excellent thread - I'll have to give it a try.

Yours for wealth (and for spreading it around)

Jim
