Banking is one of the worst abusers of their near monopoly...
Most large banks are listed as too big too fail and so are behaving badly. Bernie Sanders said in this year's campaign, “If they are too big to fail – they are too big to exist.” Last year, a story broke on a leaked email from Wikileaks from the head of Citi Group, Michael Froman to John Podesta one month before election on October 6, 2008, and two months before Citi Group got the largest bail out in history, discussing who should be in the next US cabinet. Michael Froman is an American lawyer who has served as the U.S. Trade Representative since 2013. He has been assistant to the President of the United States and Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economic Affairs, a position held jointly at the National Security Council and the National Economic Council. He is part of the group writing the trade deals of TPP and TTIP. Those deals need to be stopped in their tracks until a decentralization of corporate control occurs. Of course the elected officials can consult with whom they want, but when they are donors to the campaigns and run near monopolies there needs to be an overview and transparency and not one dime from tax payers in the form of bail outs or subsidies. Why is a business leader, who's company should have gone bankrupt and technically did, and (the company) has been fined multiple times and charged with a felony be selecting who should run the US government? Disgusting!
As evidenced in the above mentioned Wikileaks email, and before the election in 2008, Michael Froman suggested the following people be appointed to cabinet positions and most were appointed. This is called a “puppet” government and or banana republic: Eric Holder – Justice Department, Janet Napolitano – Homeland Security, Robert Gates – Defense, Rahm Emanuel – Chief of Staff, Peter Orszag – Office of Management and Budget, Arne Duncan – Education, and three choices for Secretary of Treasury: Robert Rubin, Larry Summers and Timothy Geithner.
You don't hear about it because of this monopoly:
