They aren't monopolies. A monopoly is when only one entity has market power in a particular field. Neither Wal-mart nor Microsoft have that.Why shut down two of the most successful businesses in the history of the world? Both have done more for poor people than any gummint program ever.Halliburton is an engineering firm. The Vice-President does not have his own private army or his own nuclear power plants.Hope this helps.
