Price fixing is illegal, and if it's occurring that means the government isn't doing it's job.
Try again.

That's my point...even though big business can't be trusted, neither can big government - so we shouldn't jump down the path of "government distortion through attempts to compensate" just because big business fucked up.

Fuck you land-o-lakes. Butter tastes better and I buy my eggs from the Hutterites. God bless those evil German communists.

There is no question.
YES price fixing raised the cost of eggs on the wholesale market. But how much of it was due to the price fixing and how much due to fuel and all the other causes ? but you can't just leave that number out there in the open.

yes and no.
yes in a perfect world the government could operate with less money
but in this best of all possible worlds, the government is made up of people (not robotz) whose livelihoods depend on hoodwinking taxpayers. see: the war on drugs and the military.

Which is why it is so monumentally important to keep government out of markets - out of 'anti-trust' legislation, environmental legislation, etc. Businesses can only act upon their monopolist feelings when government grants them one.

How is it the "best of all possible worlds" that the government's main function at times is to take money from tax payers by force to fund their own worthless existence?

business can set any price they want to. If you don't like the price, go somewhere else.
