John Stossel, defending monopolies on The Daily Show: "Bill Gates got rich giving us software we wanted." There were other preposterous statements, but this one flabbergasted me so much that I forgot the rest.
Record companies got rich giving us CDs we wanted, taking away those icky LPs we didn't want (after 50 years of liking them just fine) and charging double what the LP cost.
yeah, the monopoly thing is where he lost me, too. I was about to do the patented Jon Stewart "Whaaaa?" face.
