Implied by your question is the suggestion that the solution is just to abolish government agencies entirely, thus leaving people with no recourse against massive megacorporations, as opposed to trying to fix the problem in some meaningful way.

It's certainly true that there are problems with the current implementation of the mechanics of our government, but the idea that throwing them out entirely would leave us with something better just doesn't pass the sniff test.
