LOL!!! I am a libertarian that is registered as an independent.
Corporations wouldnt pay off the government if the government didnt have the power to fuck with them... Congress keeps approprating more power to fuck with corporations and thus gets more donations to get left alone or to get special treatment.
I think it's the other way around, in that "corporations" wouldn't pay to adjust laws to benefit themselves, if the government didn't have both the power to enforce, and the vulnerabilities to be exploited for gains. I think if "corporations" were ever at odds with government policies, they would strive to find ways to subvert the policies and/or government... which many have now effectively done, which is part of why things are as they are now, and "corporations" (i.e. contrived business entities representing the special interests of small groups based on establishing profit engines) apparently have more rights than "individuals." Essentially, this amounts to a misrepresented circumstance, in which the will of a "group" is held as more important than the will of "one person," but in fact, it's not just "one person" versus "a group," and even if it was, we're supposed to be protecting the minorities, not using "mob rule" (aka "democracy") to determine that a group of wealthy investors should have the right to circumvent and disregard the protections for the individuals, meant to be preserved, not "granted," by the constitution and bill of rights. They've even gone as far as to launch massive propaganda campaigns, in order to Con-vince enough people to vote for the ideas they want; which is often contrary to the ideas of "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness."
Government was supposed to stay "small" and stay out of people's personal lives, and people were supposed to remain "Free." Much has happened since, and now there is a "faction" which asserts it has legitimate authority to harm "individuals" for the sake of its own gains. And despite the blatantly fallacious nature of nearly all of their attempts to self-justify, they continue to back all of their assertions with more and more violence against We The People.
I consider them infidels and usurpers, hijackers even; certainly not the rightful leaders of this nation.
