At least the corporations have reasons for what they do....the real PARASITES are the govt. sucking off of them and us.

Corporations aren't voted in to office to work on behalf of the people...POLITICIANS are.
The government sucks off the corporations?

The corporations have purchased our government.

And you're right - the government is supposed to stand up to corporations and prevent them from exploiting the citizens. But that's "socialism" or "communism" or "fascism" or any number of "isms" that morons use when the government simply says "no" to corporate shenanigans. I've head it a million times. "We need to get government outta the way!" as if everything would work out if the corporations had free reign and regulations were all tossed out.

You're right, too, that corporations aren't voted into office. But there's a school of thought that says corporations are "people" and have "rights" to political speech. They think it's a good thing when corporations write big checks to political campaigns.
