Yeah I heard about that as well, but seeing as corporate mergers and takeovers is what made this country "great" in the first place (that's why we don't have any American TV or Radio manufacturers left anymore because of Richard Nixon and his "foreign trade" agreements he signed into law back in the 1970s which paved the way for foreign companies and investors to come in and basically buy out every single American Manufacturing company and send their manufacturing overseas...) Its kind of one of those things that if Congress and the house of representatives would of stood up for the people and stood up against Nixon and his wreckless trade policies I think our country would of still had its own respectable manufacturing sector and we wouldn't of become such an import dependant country like we are now.
