BASEDPolitics’ Hannah Cox writes, “While committee hearings and political debates can be boring to some, it’s never a dry day when Rand takes the floor, as he reminded us on Thursday when he went off against a package of antitrust bills the Senate was trying to push through last minute.
'The proponents of antitrust law are famously zealous in their desire to eradicate the curse of bigness,' Paul began (with a slight eye roll on the last phrase). 'To them big is always bad, except of course when it comes to the size and scope of government,' he continued (that’s right, he mic dropped them in the first 10 seconds).
.@RandPaul giving a brave and necessary lesson on antitrust hysteria on the Senate floor right now. A stirring defense of free market principles that is so sadly rare these days. 👏 — Patrick Hedger (@PatHedger18) December 8, 2022

Paul continued, 'The same people who supposedly fear the concentration of power in the marketplace, celebrate the concentration of power in the state. A state that inserts itself into and nullifies private contracts, breaks up companies it deems too large, and inflicts punishment on those that succeed in the competition for customers.'
When I tell you this man left no crumbs…
There are few orators in American politics like @RandPaul - as he reminded us today when he went OFF on an epic rant against antitrust and in defense of real capitalism. This is the most based thing you'll see this week. By me:https://t.co/jSBdwIXWHA — Hannah Cox (@HannahDCox) December 9, 2022

He’s absolutely right. Supporters of antitrust love to pretend that they are monopoly busters. In reality, the companies they target are rarely if ever monopolies, while the tools they want to bust them continue to give greater and greater power to the only true, long-lasting monopoly in existence: the government."
