I'm an ex Reagan republican turned dues paying conservative Libertarian. I give just as much crony credit to the RNC as the DNC. They are two sides of the same coin, and both have become adept at picking our pockets.

Government.

Not all corporations are 'evil.' And frankly, even if they were, if they provide a qualify product and employ people, they are at least useful.

Besides, corporations are legally validated entities, meaning government creates them. So even if corporations are worse, if you track it back to the source, it still ends up being the government.

Corporations don't "dine on my dime." They dine on there own dime.

Corporations cannot raise my taxes, write new regulations to control my actions and force me to change my lifestyle, cannot take away my property, or make up new laws and regs to destroy my job ruin me financially, government does all of that.

If I don't like Apple, GM, or General Electric products, I don't buy them, end of story.

The difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.

I agree. If government were not robbing corporations of profit (taxes, regulations, etc.) there would be no need for corporate lobbyists. This is a "no brainer."
