A) you've said in several posts over the last couple of pages that you're either starting to lean towards Trump or feel like you might have to vote for him, and B) 3 out of the 5 points you listed as being what was most important to you are more closely aligned with Democrats than Republicans - 4 if the label you're assigning yourself were actually true, rather than what your stated opinion actually is.
That's not exactly true, and results in a false conclusion.
For example, being anti trust is not exactly the same as being pro-labor and/or anti business anti capitalism. The issue is not a dichotomy .... and it is important to understand the Democrats' position I feel is every bit as much or more harmful than Trump's position. The same can be said for regulatory burden on business. That regulatory burden is far more destructive to the small to mid range business sector than it is to the trusts, due to the massive amount of money being spent by mega corporations following the Friedman doctrine on lobby groups and regulatory capture. Both breaking the trusts
and quite a bit of deregulating small to mid level business is required.
The same sort of thing is happening in environmental issues. Ethanol for example is more harmful to the economy, environment and even global warming than gasoline. But a powerful lobby combined with regulatory capture has made this very harmful practice of mixing Ethanol with gasoline mandatory in many states and heavily subsidized everywhere.
Food safety is another example, but it would take a very long boring book long essay to explain why. Just suffice it to say as regulatory capture eliminates entire sectors of food production in favor of a very few large monopolistic trusts, food quality and food safety are actually declining rather than improving, yet the excuse used in nearly every case was food safety!
If you have these trusts, then sure you need strong labor and unions combined with strong regulation from over burdensome heavy handed government to prevent their abuse of economic power. On the other hand by breaking the trusts, you don't need either and would want less of both.
The Democrats and Republicans are stuck in the Big Business vs Labor and Big government false dichotomy. They are flip sides to the same coin in this respect. Neither is actually beneficial.
