93% of stocks are owned by just 10% of people... They own all the companies, and are diversified... They aren't really competing with each other in any meaningful way

Then don't shop at those companies? Go buy produce at your local farmers market etc etc. You get to choose what you spend money on. Or you can start your own business if you feel there is a market gap. You cant start your own government.

Most people are not "free" enough under current system to shop at farmers markets haha

Less taxes would mean they would be even less free to go shopping in a farmers market. No more buses, toll roads everywhere, forget about bike lanes.
