Strange kind of melding between Jefferson and Hamilton. Jefferson was the one who discouraged concentrations of wealth, while Hamilton saw it as a way to strengthen the nation and the government. These days Hamilton is more right than Jefferson. We can't keep up this fantasy of fair competition. The only way to go forward is to realize that markets have to be regulated, but regulating them to create more competition just isn't going to work.

Also, I think we need to do more to actually make successfull people in this country instead of just creating opportunities. Government needs to be strong.

Other than that I think his ideas are decent.
