in the uk at least, there is a bolder line drawn (and maintained) between corporation and government. in the states, a line like yours is nonsensical, because the few rules we have to separate corporation and state are not enforced. the corporations are the state.

this is hyperbole, but i think only a little. we don’t only have a corporate government, we have a corporate culture and they combine to form a sort of corporate religion, which pretends to be “christianity” because that’s easier to swallow.

i’m for regulation and corporation where it’s sensible, but there is no balance here and no sensible action can be taken. just look at the bipartisan mess (a two right-wing party system) that happens when we try to promise that people will have access to medical care- they revolt!
