Not quite. You mean big companies are inviolable, punishing them
for anything is punishing ourselves? Are you not forgetting that
if their prices become painful to us, other smaller companies are
thereby empowered?

If the governments of the world would leave industry alone, the free
market is self regulating via the purchasing power of the consumers.
BUT because government is greedy and any administration's (or party)
primary goal is to stay in power, they don't let that happen.
