Spending massive amount of money on lobbying doesnt mean the companies wouldnt exist if they didnt spend money on lobbying. Your response makes no sense, especially given the history of this nation where it took government to break up companies like US Steel, ATT, etc..
it STILL didnt eliminate corporations, and they didnt need lobbyists to grow to humongous sizes.
Yah, these "nationless corporation" whiners need to go research the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.

I see, it is just a coinkydink and the corporations that are bribing politicians and spending record amounts of money on campaigns are doing it all to be kind and do not expect a return on investment.
Still waiting for all the public employees to forfeit their pensions, which are funded by corporate profits, dividends, and stock value. Have they done so yet?

Got it!
FAIL..
They are spending record amounts of money on campaigns because GOVERNMENT IS REGULATING THEM..

They'd be a complete idiot not to buy influence..
Funny Joke - Yea let us run with that for a second:
Who is writing the regulations, the Average American on Main Street?
The majority of Americans living paycheck to paycheck?
Are one of the Corporate Shills in DC?

You are completely misunderstanding the points.
I DONT AGREE with regulations that limit competition.
Its POLITICIANS who allow the influence to be bought, which makes them the biggest threat, not companies. Companies by design will limit each others ability to buy influence if companies are allowed to grow and prosper..
Of course we have left wing kooks who wine and cry all day long about businesses.. thread as point.
I see you completely avoided the discussion, why is that?
Cite for me how exactly you reign in corporations if not through government legislation or competition? I'm waiting for an answer.
If you don't quit saying corporations and not adding crony corporations to it, you are going on ignore.
There is BIG difference Jack.
You reign in the Crony Corporations and Banks by shrinking the government.
But Crony Corporations and Banks want a Big Government to serve them so that is not going to happen.
Tell me how you would go about shrinking the government when DC does not even listen to the majority of Americans but only to wealthy interests.
One thing that does have an influence? Money. While the opinions of the bottom 90% of income earners in America have a “statistically non-significant impact,” Economic elites, business interests, and people who can afford lobbyists still carry major influence.
