Re: You don't get it. It's the regulatory system, exploited, that creates this monopoly.
Monopoly existed long before there was regulation. And the seminal anti-monopoly legislation, Republican Teddy Roosevelt's "bust the trust" movement was extremely effective at controlling the anti-market monopolies of the Gilded Age.
And then, just as today, the business Republicans of the time fought it tooth and nail because it cut into their profits. Tom, your entrepreneurial heroes are neither heroic, nor very entrepreneurial, either.
