break up companies too big to fail: would decrease risk to economy and increase competition & employment opportunities

Break up companies that are too big to fail. Over the past 40 years numerous regulations that were instituted after the depression to protect our economy and citizens from the abuses of corporate greed and the consequences of misguided, but good intentioned, decisions made by executives of companies that are too big to fail were eliminated. The result is that profits are privatized and losses become the burden of the taxpayers rather than the stockholders. Companies that have grown so big have reduced competition in their industries, exposed our taxpayers to extreme economic risk, eliminated many jobs at all worker and management levels, and very frequently severely affected whole neighborhoods or towns. Regulations need to be restored to increase competition & protect our economy.
