Progressivism

Very strongly agree

Yes, and the government should break up existing mega corporations

This answer aligns with the progressive belief in strong government intervention to prevent monopolies and protect consumers. Progressives have historically supported breaking up large corporations, such as the breakup of Standard Oil in 1911. More recently, progressive politicians like Senator Bernie Sanders have called for breaking up big tech companies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook.

Strongly agree

Yes, if the merged corporation would have more than 25% of the market share

This answer provides a specific criterion for government intervention, which many progressives may support. A 25% market share threshold may be seen as a more reasonable threshold to prevent market concentration and promote competition. However, some progressives may argue for even stricter regulations or different criteria for intervention.

Agree

Yes, if the merged corporation would have more than 50% of the market share

This answer provides a specific criterion for government intervention, which some progressives may support. However, the 50% market share threshold may be seen as too high by some progressives, who may prefer a lower threshold to prevent market concentration and promote competition.

Disagree

No, we already have sufficient anti-trust laws in place to prevent monopolies

While some progressives may believe that existing anti-trust laws are sufficient, many argue that these laws are not being enforced effectively or need to be updated to address modern market conditions. For example, progressives like Senator Elizabeth Warren have called for stronger antitrust enforcement and updated regulations to address the power of big tech companies.
