You are missing the point: government does not work. Socialism has not worked in Russia, China, Argentina, Venezuela, Europe, USA, or anywhere else. The more government is involved in any economic activity, the less efficient that activity becomes.

I could site countless fact after fact where corporations were reigned in from causing harm to thousands of people by the government.
you could find zero instance where the government harmed economic growth in america that wasn't just your 'opinion'.
The government stops criminal acts of negligence, that's a fact... maybe you think that's putting unfair pressure on corporations.
We are looking to Bernie Sanders because politicians being bought and sold to the level that they are NOW is a relatively new thing.
Bernie Sanders said NO to contributions from a corporate donor that he found their ethics questionable.
If you dont like corporate politics there is only ONE politician that you should vote for.
If you don't like corporate politics but you keep voting for it, then you should not be involved in any political conversation.
