The current left is very authoritarian. That's what you're seeing. Ron Paul woke up the libertarian spirit and idealism of the right. So the right has been pushing for more libertarian ideals (literally the opposite of authoritarianism) and the left has been pushing for more authoritarian policies because absolute power corrupts absolutely.

How do we fix it? Enforce anti-trust laws. Break up Amazon, Google, Facebook. Deregulate to the point that competition is possible, and when you do regulate, you do it from the standpoint of "The end product must be X, and the waste products can be no less than Y". Imagine you were regulating a bullet. The casing outer dimensions, pressure tolerance of the case, head spacing of the bullet would all be regulated. But there would be other specs that would NOT be regulated: materials used in the case/bullet. Maximum/minimum weight of the bullet. Maximum pressure generated by the bullet. Primer and flash hole design. Case wall thickness (who cares, as long as it can withstand the pressure). The market will decide whether the end result is viable or not.

The minute any business gets 'too big to fail' that is a sign that: 1) Your anti-trust regulations failed. 2) that business 100000% needs to fail!
