You can be tried for First degree murder and get the death penalty, while the person who actually did the murder can get off with a lighter sentence. See here. If a corporation manages to convince a government to take action to harm it's citizens, the corporation is still the one ultimately responsible.

Also, money does not guarantee cooperation. Hitler accepted funds from many companies. After he took power, while many initially profited from the wartime economy, they had no real control over the actions of the government that inevitably led to their near complete destruction.
So you are equating a Constitutional Republic with a Dictatorship as they are both governments and operate the same way?

Also, Godwin.
