Personally, I see a lot of similarities between "big" government and "big" business in terms of potential for abuse and massive bureaucracy and neither is particularly trustworthy (they are both composed of individual human beings with motives and desires). The major difference is that the government can abuse its power in the name of the "public good". Plus every business is beholden to the market and will go out of business if it does not provide what the public wants. What I am worried about is that we soon have a situation where the regulators that are intended to protect the consumer from abuse, prevent newer more ethical competitors from gaining market share. This happens a lot in the US where big business and big government form a sort of symbiotic relationship to maintain the status quo
