People have constantly complained that the “big” businesses are too powerful and undermine democracy and freedom. This should be put in historic context. Ask where the current all-powerful evil corporations were 50 years ago? Look at the list of the then all-powerful evil corporations of 50 years ago, and ask how important they are today? If the list from 50 years ago is the same as today (and all the more so, the same as 50 years before that), it would indicate the major corporations have dictatorial control over the country and society. If fact, the lists are significantly different. If people don’t like what a corporation is doing, they’ll take their business elsewhere, and soon that corporation will be looking for new leadership in hopes of rebuilding and reorganizing (or worse, looking for a bankruptcy lawyer).
