Is it reasonable to say that a government is more accountable to taxpayers than a company is to customers? If I am displeased with the policies of KillBrownPeopleOnTheOtherSideOfTheWorldCorp or TheKidnapPeopleWhoGrowFungusesCompany, I can just decide not to purchase their services. The process available in government is that I can vote to replace the person who oversees the policies, which will remain unchanged.
