The “We Hate Consumers” Party.

Capitalism was never designed to work in an oligarchy-like environment. It requires fair and open competition. Megacorps that can afford to crush their opposition outright break every parameter that the system is based on.

As much as they may like to say they like Capitalism, Republicans do not. They are not capitalists, they are corporatists. And the corporate market is not a free market; it does not behave as a free market does. A free market cannot afford to abuse its customers because there are readily-available alternatives. A corporatist market can and does abuse its customers because they really don’t have much choice in the matter.
