& if the politicians didn’t exist, the resource heavy ceos of massive corporations would find another way to benefit themselves. Too much power is too much power. I don’t see any difference between too much power in the hands of a state sponsored corporation vs a gov. Do you think the people & gov. have had more influence over the laws of this country or the will of corporations? I’d bet you a thousand lobbyist pay on corporations

Sort:  

Corporations do not and should not have the power to make law. It's the politicians that do that. Corporations would have less power and could not become as large without government assistance. Lobbyists would be irrelevant if politicians did not have the power to make regulatory laws that benefit corporations. There will always be wealthy people with influence. The more powerful and centralized the government is, the more power there is to buy.
