Talk about the wealthy monopoly, an article in the paper today boasted that the U.S. is in a "new golden age". The first "golden Age", they said, ran from the post Civil War railroad land grants to the "Trust busting" activities of Teddy Roosevelt and William Taft, followed by FDR himself. But the anti monopoly laws those guys put through have been phased out and we now have a new brood of unhampered politically powerful super rich.
The article seemed quit proud of this I think, using the label "Golden Age". We might soon have a return of the old "golden age" "sweat shops industry"...
