I consider myself a moderate, but in the present climate I'd be tagged as "left."

I am so pissed off with the Denmocratic Party establishment because they have ignored so many things that defy common sense.

One glaring example is mergermania. Over the last 30 years most industries have gone from at least having aenough of a mix of competators of differinhg sizes to be described as a competative free enterprise system into a monopolistic mess.

Over the last 30 years, the American economy has been distorted by mergers and acquisitions into an oligarchy in which most industries have been winnowed to a few giga-big corporate monsters.

That's bad. It shouldn't have been allowed to happen, and the Establishment Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for not standing up against it....They continue to ignore it now, even though it still is going on.

(I am excluding those Democrats who have fought the good fight on that front. But they should have been the position of the Democratic Party, instead of being treated as a minority wing.)
