| The equal marketplace Bill.
This is a bill I thought up which could help to bring back equality in competition at the marketplace.
The bill would simply outlaw discounts offered to stores if they buy in volume. A distrabuter or a company that sells items to retailers must charge the same price per item no matter how much they order as the quantity. The retialer however, who sells to the public is free to ask whatever price they please.
This would allow a family to open a mom and pop store with the ability to compete with the wealthy "gaint" stores. They would not be forced to sell items at a higher price then the chain stores. The bill would bring back diveristy in the marketplace as well as the "small town environment" that existed before the big guys like Walmart took over.
Because each retailer would be charged a flat rate no matter if they had a small business or a massive chain store outlet.
The bill would encourge more people to risk self employment and allow them a sense of independance. Because they would then have a "even playing field" for competitive potentials.
Such a bill would come under attack by powerful looby groups no doubt.
But what do you think about this idea for a bill and should it be proposed by a canadate or someone in government? |
