Answer:

Monopolies are bad for the economy because lack of competition allows a few to set prices, stagnate competition.

Explanation:

How did the rich take advantage:

The rich had ready capital to either buy out smaller competitors or drive them out with undercut prices until the competitor failed, then prices to consumer went back up even higher.

It happened in the early industrial revolution:  Rockefeller/Standard Oil,

Carnegie and JP Morgan= Steel industry

Still going on today, especially in the tech arena.

Able to manipulate what we buy, the way we think, etc.

We need to be responsible, situationally aware consumers.

wich was not a reason johnson used when vetoing the extension of the freedmens bureau and civil rights bill of 1866
Mkey [24]
He vetoed it for various reasons. For starters, he believed that it was a thing up to individual states and that it infringed on the states right to choose. Another reason was that he believed that such beneficial extension would not make people equal, but rather it would be racist towards the white people. His main argument, however, was that the bill would have a certain group gain rights that they are not entitled to, while a large part of the states does not even have representation in the congress, and that the congress needs to be enlarged first.
