Could be done a few different ways, mostly through strong regulation via govt bodies (whove been systematically defunded since 1980)
Teddy Roosevelt did it, we can do it today.

Not all corps are ebil. It’s just a small percentage that consider themselves international with no strings attached to any particular country or to foreign countries or entities(e.g. British Petroleum). Regulation within the US geared towards restricting corporate business usually effects the smaller and/or domestic company (mom-n-pop’s) rather than any real threats. Anytime you make a decision to empower government to regulate anything, it usually results in the little guy getting hurt, even yourself in one way or another. Remember what Reagan said "Government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem". And I think it is even more so true today than it was then, as now politicians are pretty much indentured to special interest pockets. Time to throw all the bums out!
Btw fdr can shove it. “Liberal activism” has only led to larger and larger government (from both parties), while if it had gotten smaller as the founding fathers intended, we would not be in such a mess as we are. Your big lists of government programs is appalling, government owes you nothing other than being massively downsized so the people can better control it once again as it was intended to be.
