But there is more. Trump & other conservatives are also attacking the big tech companies which are keeping the US economy going. President Trump threatens Amazon and other tech companies with extended regulations and declared "The European Union is suing them all of the time. Well, we should be doing this. They're our companies" (reason).
The conservatives get support from the left, especially from Elizabeth Warren, Berni Sanders and others leaders of the Democratic Party. They want to break up technology giants like Google, Facebook, Apple & Amazon (stratechery). Sen. Warren claims: "Today’s big tech companies have too much power — too much power over our economy, our society, and our democracy" (teamwarren). She declares she wants to “ensure that there are more representatives from labor, environmental, and consumer groups than from corporations and trade groups on every existing advisory committee” (vox).
The political left and right want to gag the big tech companies, to oversee & to constrain their business. Big powerful American bureaucracies join the crusade. The Justice Department wants to investigate Alphabet’s Google and Apple while the FTC plans to probe Amazon & Facebook to determine if they abused their massive market power, setting up what could be unprecedented, wide-ranging probes of some of the world’s largest companies.
Republicans and Democrats started to throw sand in the gears of the economy and they began to make the live of the company CEOs miserable. They all want to give the government more power and curb the power of the companies. But he bi-partisan attacks won`t destroy capitalism. While politicians left and right seem to hate big corporations, the people - the consumers - love them. They love to get goods delivered cheap and fast from Amazon, buy gadgets from Apple, search on Google and use the free services from Facebook and their daughter Instagram. But the attacks will slow down economic growth and harm everybody who does not live from the money of the taxpayers
