''Promoting Competition by Stopping Corporate Concentration''
Large corporations have concentrated their control over markets to a greater degree than Americans
ave seen in decades—further evidence that the deck is stacked for those at the top. Democrats will take
steps to stop corporate concentration in any industry where it is unfairly limiting competition. We will
make competition policy and antitrust stronger and more responsive to our economy today, enhance the
antitrust enforcement arms of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC),
and encourage other agencies to police anti-competitive practices in their areas of jurisdiction.
We support the historic purpose of the antitrust laws to protect competition and prevent excessively
consolidated economic and political power, which can be corrosive to a healthy democracy. We support
reinvigorating DOJ and FTC enforcement of antitrust laws to prevent abusive behavior by dominant
companies, and protecting the public interest against abusive, discriminatory, and unfair methods of
commerce. We support President Obama’s recent Executive Order, directing all agencies to identify
specific actions they can take in their areas of jurisdiction to detect anticompetitive practices—such as
tying arrangements, price fixing, and exclusionary conduct—and to refer practices that appear to violate
federal antitrust law to the DOJ and FTC.
