> I often see many people show immediate solidarity with Amazon as soon as the ideas of anti-trust or monopoly are brought up. If the government is allowed to break up a large corporation then where does it stop? Will they come after my small business next?

If the govern doesn't go after Aamzon, Amazon will probably come after your small business.

Should the same government have gone after Apple and iTunes that killed off the mom and pop record store? Businesses die all the time when consumer preferences change.

well, on one hand, maybe. keep in mind that apple is also killing repair stores with their unfair anti-repair tactics and policies.

on the other hand, it's different: amazon spans so many kind of items that it's killing a huge kind of mom an pop stores. Amazon has enough revenue that it can adjust its pricing, even with losses, to drive away customers from competitors.
