On the flip side, if Amazon is working behind the scenes with the government to against new entries to the market, then that's a problem.
If you are going to claim that someone else doesn't understand what a monopoly is, the least you could do is tell them what you claim is the real definition.

Oh wait, we've been through all this before, too...


P.S. Standard obfuscatory tactics here -- first you convince everyone that something-is-really-true-but-it's-legal, since people are less likely to argue. Then once people accept it's true, you convince them that it's illegal.
(Obviously, this assumes you are successful, which you aren't. But as they say, it's the thought that counts. )
