Once companies are traded on Wall Street, these corporations (Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Twitter, etc.) are no longer private companies. The fact that they are traded publicly makes them public companies. They are bound by the rules of our country, specifically the SEC, which has oversight but has not enforced it against China and others. These public corporations operate in ways that harm our financial and economic structure and continually violate our laws and constitution. Monopolies are illegal. We must protect innovation, creativity, the US economy, free enterprise, small businesses, entrepreneurs, and the structural foundations of business and innovation that make this country great. I support the dismantling of monopolistic tech companies, particularly those that attempt to operate as a government in and of themselves.
