The Empire Should Be Broken Up

Rupert Murdoch's news media empire should be broken up by congress and scattered to the wind. It is a monopoly and the congress should have never let it happen. Monopolies control wealth and in the news media they control the dialog. Wealthy people like Murdoch believe they can do anything they want. His Fox News is a great example how their journalists openly lie and try to influence their views with those lies.

Murdoch's trouble in Britian in all probability will spill over to his U.S. operations. There is one thing to keep in mind here and that is most of Murdoch's businesses emulate their leader and what ever their leader condones. Paying off police to obtain information on people and hacking into their communications is un American. Murdoch is heavily involved in Wall Street and owns the Wall Street Journal. We all know that the Wall Street Banks are also monopolies and they should be broken up too. We also know the Wall Street Banks were involved in the great financial meltdown whose effects are still with the people and the economy.

Once the American people understand how wealthy monopolies have taken over America and demand that congress act to break them up we will have an America for the people and by the people. The wealthy have shown how brazen they are by demanding tax breaks and corporate welfare for their wealthy businesses and having congress go along at the expense of the average American. They behold our elected officials with campaign contributions and elected officials are just as brazen defending those tax breaks. A good example is going on right now with the debt ceiling where republicans oppose any closing of those tax loop holes and benefits they helped create.

It would be wise for the proper authorities in the U.S. to fully investigate Murdoch's business dealings. And it would really be wise if congress moves to break up Murdoch's media monopoly and the wall street banks monopoly. It should easily be understood how the wealth of monopolies can control a large part of our country's economy and put the average American at risks.

Every day President Kennedy's statement, Our problems are man made and therefore can be solved by man, is in play here. We just don't have the elected officials with character and courage who are willing to stand up and be counted. The American people should understand that their are no laws that elected officials have to take campaign contributions so they can not pass the buck.
