You know that the reason the Sherman Antitrust Act was passed was because problems with monopolies/cartels/etc actually existed, right? Not because someone wanted to restrict freedom for the hell of it.
Like what? The major problem of Standard Oil dramatically lowering the price of oil for the masses? AND improving product quality greatly. AND improving safety for workers and consumers alike? Good thing government was around to put a stop to all of that!
