Buying the competition is everywhere in the real world. I remember the groans when IBM bought out Informix because everyone knew IBM was boxing them in again.
I remember the bad old days, when we had so many versions of computer operating systems, that at times your video card would not work with your monitor, your video game, or your printer, unless you spent a week reconfiguring minute details for each process.
People "willing" to work for $5.00/hr, monopolistic practices being good, Obama not responsible for the auto bailouts (Bush is), poor people are poor because they don't go to school... conservative arguments. No actual defense possible so insults and put downs are the only way the conservative responds to counter-argument. The interested can look at what Wikipedia (conservatives hate Wikipedia and other factual sources of information) has to say about something called a GINI index.
Simplisitic and if that is in fact what was happneing this thread would not exist. What if you hire thugs to kidnap and transport workers to your factory where they are given only food and water but no actual wages. Are you making their lives better?

Shhhh.... Obama has been taking credit for the auto bailouts.
It doesn't. Being rich or poor, most of the time, has to do with ones actions. Whether it is something that you have done to make you rich/poor or something that your family has done. IMO the poor should be thanking the rich considering they are, usually, the ones who make jobs.
Completely agree with you.
Im from Argentina, i moved to the US in 2001. My father is a Senator back in Argentina, he bought us (to my brother and i) a house here in Los Angeles. We both go to college and dont have to work. Im dont want to brag about it but thank to my dad we have a lot money. That's one example. My father is rich because he works his ass off to give us the best but that doesnt mean because he is rich someone else is poor.
Poor people are poor becaue they want to be. That's how i see it.

Then pay more for Apple. Apple, a closed hardware and software system was always available and never had this problem. Why did you buy the PC? I'll tell you why. Its because the open standard and ability of Compaq to clone it made it cheap. Lots of PC manufactures followed. DrDos and other put pressure on Microsoft even though they won with the vapor ware.
IBM made open hardware system due in no small part to the anti-trust threat hanging over their heads. You can also thank that for Microsoft as well since IBM didn't try the vertical monopoly.
If you like a nice one stop monopolistic shop my condolences on the collapse of the Soviets. Once size underwear for all.
Look I get it. The rich always make other people rich and competition is a sin. They are full of benevolence and always make the pie bigger. I get it really....something is in the water.

So, poor people like starving and not being able to afford luxuries?
which gets reloaned back out to society. What do you think banks do with the money?
If he sources the work from the neighboring towns, then he's distributing the money to the neighboring towns thus increasing their ability to obtain wealth as well. That doesnt mean the 1 guy is getting rich because others are getting poor, he's still employing 99 people.
Yep, the wealthy bankers loan it alright. They loan it to the poor who are forced to pay the wealthy interest for the pleasure of using that loaned money.
You feel that is a fair Exchange, the wealthy take income at a discounted tax rate and loan it to the working poor at a premium???
