Lucas Kunce on Corporations

 

 


I worked to upend the domination of corporate monopolies

From the Middle East to the Pentagon, my time in the Marine Corps provided me with direct insight into the control that giant corporations have over our tax dollars, our politics, and our everyday lives. That's why, in my final year of active duty, I worked to upend the domination of corporate monopolies over our economy that is crushing innovation, costing taxpayers money, and leaving our country less safe.

Break up Big Ag; bar foreign ownership of Missouri farmland

Missouri is in the middle of a farming crisis. Massive, multinational corporations are attempting to own every facet of agriculture in our state. Lucas will fight to break up Big Ag and to make sure no Missouri farmland can be owned by a foreign corporation so we can empower independent farmers to compete in an open market.

Monopolies keep us divided because together we have power

I work for a non-profit fighting corporate monopoly power that has bulldozed over our communities. We fight big ag, pharmaceutical cartels, and the wall street profiteers who have been tearing us up--the monopoly corporations and politicians who do everything they can to keep us divided because together, we have power.

We need to break the oppressive corporate monopoly structure

[On competition]: "The oppressive corporate monopoly structure we're living under right now, we need to break that," he said, noting a slew of Missouri-based companies, including Anheuser-Busch and Monsanto, have become foreign-owned in recent years. "Pharmaceutical cartels, big agriculture, big tech, defense monopolies--all of them make it hard for a regular person to compete in the economy."

Corporate self-interest gave China control of supply chain

It's a uniquely modern American mentality that places all other principles behind the greatest principle of all: the pursuit of self-interest. Exploiting that philosophy is the foundation of how China took control of our entire supply chain, numerous industries, and know-how that America, as a society, paid for and developed, and even a huge slice of "materials and technologies deemed strategic and critical to U.S. national security," as outlined in a recent national-security report.
