In a perfect world, companies would compete fairly and the winner would be the consumer, not the corporation. But this is not a perfect world. The corporations are out for one thing. To screw you out of as much money as they can. Don't like it? Who are you going to go with? They're the only service provider. Their attitude is "pay me or get the fuck out and starve". Mafia boss mentality rules these corporations. Government is no better. It's the same shit with a different label.

Can you name a single corporation that has a monopoly of any industry without the help of government?

Without government help, corporations are at the mercy of the market. When companies screw over their customers, other companies are more than glad to come in and pick up all of these unhappy customers.

This system is commonly refereed to as negative reciprocity, and is commonly accepted as the best way to find a fair exchange.
When the best way to make the most money is by providing a quality experience so that repeat business is induced this motivator benefits everyone.
Do you honestly think when you walk out the door with your product the producer cheers that you are gone? "Hope he will never come back! Wait till he sees what I put in the box!" you imagine them saying. NO! Repeat business IS business!
How can anyone not know this?

Let me give you a basics in business 101. The objective is to screw them and make them like it. The customer walks away feeling they have had everything handed on a platter and all is right with the world, when in reality the company did as much as they could to suck the wallet dry. I've seen it done on so many levels.

The US was founded by capitalists. They saw government as a necessary evil and attempted to limit it as much as was practical. None of them believed that business could be quantified as evil, in and of itself.

No one is forced to buy anything from any particular corporate/private company. Life may be harder if you decide you have to move somewhere else to increase your buying opportunities, but you still have that choice. The company can't follow you and bring you back to make you buy their crap.

Government on the other hand is a monopoly on force. You have no options save what the government offers to you, and to reject their mandates is to risk bankruptcy, slavery, or death. Government can partner with business to enslave people, or at least limit their options, but business can't force government to do anything.
