Producers are not getting their share of the pie because we have companies who exert market power to increase their margins and reduce what producers get.

What would have happened if these market forces were not at play and regular people actually producing something got their fair share? We would have had more money going into producer's pockets instead of the dot com bubble and the housing bubble and the other bubbles that the wizards of industry and Wall Street have created.

Our nation would not have the problems these people created and the wealth of the nation would have been better distributed instead of squandered by the greedy.

Market power hurts everyone while hiding behind empty arguments that "the lowest price" is an excuse for every economic fraud.

We have such STUPID people making the rules and STUPID judges who don't enforce the laws on the books that were put there after we gained the intelligence to make those laws after the last market failures.

We have to get smarter about these things.
