These consolidations and mergers typically cause lost jobs, higher prices, less competition, customer ripoffs and poorer service.

The DOJ should be forced to evaluate each deal for its tangible benefits to society, employees, shareholders, customers and if it can't provide benefits for 3 out of 4 it should be shot down. No, a big bonus for the CEO is not a tangible benefit. Tell us again, who actually benefits?

If each and every average American with their families, friends, churches, charities and common interests thought with the same greed and self interest that a Repub corporatist believes a CEO should think is appropriate for business, we'd certainly have a pathetic disgusting world and "human family". All for me is not a healthy philosophy and it is even more threatening when it comes from those controlling lots of money. The Christian culture even for non-believers is about being responsible and helping others.

The corporate culture of our CEOs and bankers has lost a perspective that favors humanity, and they have become enamored with greed instead of balance and service to every aspect of their business and society.

Many such corporations have become corrupt and are not just a burden to our nation, but a threat to humankind.
