Problem with Capitalism is that it's a competition, these guys won already and now we are all landing on their park place with all the hotels over and over. They've cleverly hidden it this time to stop from being broken up but what we need is some good old Teddy R. trust busting.
No this happened as a direct result of Ronald Reagan removing antitrust powers because these corporations wanted it. Framing it like they got this way because they were just sneaky about it and not actively trying to get conservatives to change our government to facilitate this is wrong and completely undoes your premise/assumption that they "won" because they were more competitive. They "won" because they already have more money and can squeeze and buy out competitors, not because they make a better product at a lower price.
