Thank you. I almost lost it reading the article and the comments here.

Corporations also heavily use the court system, benefit from a publicly paid education system, roads, infrastructure... I could go on and on.

The highest positions in government are stacked with former/future corporate employees. Our former vice president was the CEO of Halliburton. Our current attorney general was a partner at one of the largest corporate law firms in the world. This is the norm not the exception.

So the idea that there's friction between corporations and "The Government" is just not serious. The government largely functions to keep American corporations happy and profitable.
