They pay off most members of congress, the tax laws are written in their favor, most of the bailout money is going to corps. The evidence is there buddy.

Wow wordplay will only take you so far, bird-brain. So let me break it down to seed-sized bites for you: The CORPORATIONS' TOP MANAGEMENT own THE POLITICIANS.

THE GOVERNMENT (technically that's just the body that manages public assets) owns the corporations themselves now. That means they are PUBLICLY OWNED. Yes, the capitalism was crony. And now it's crony communism since these are turning into publicly owned corporations.

Do I need to break it down even more, or are you going to play again with words, trying to wiggle out of THE COMMUNIST REALITY OF THE USA?

Dude you are ignoring massive amounts of regulatory capture. Betsy DeVos made her money off of student loans and now is in the governmental position to oversee all education. Ajit Pai made his money off being a lawyer of Verizon and know is the Head of the FCC which oversees the whole internet and phone services aka what Verizon does. Trump was a real estate Barron and used his position to lower taxes on land across the United States. Its fascism authortarism not communism. Corporations have always been the backbones of fascism like how VW and Fanta and even American buisnessman abroad helped prop up the Nazis.

Wow you really have some neuron issues don't you? Betsy DeVos IS NOT A CORPORATION. Ajit Pai IS NOT A CORPORATION. Donald J. Trump IS NOT A CORPORATION. They are 2-legged, 2-armed humanoids and likely "people" in whatever loosest definition of the term you might want to apply.

Devos-Sally Mae, Pai-Verizon, and Trump- hotels and golf clubs. You are fucking nuts.

I am sorry if this is difficult for you: PEOPLE are not CORPORATIONS.

PEOPLE have agendas. Not corporations, although those are used by PEOPLE to further their agendas. CORPORATIONS don't act on their own. It's THE PEOPLE behind them.

Reread it slowly if this is too difficult for you.

I never said that people are corporations, I said people in government are acting on behalf of corporations hence regulatory capture.

They're not working on behalf of corporations. They're acting on behalf of THE PEOPLE controlling these corporations.

CORPORATIONS are imaginary constructs that by convention we handle as if they were real. Just like money. It's just numbers inside computers. But the point is, corporations have no desires. THE PEOPLE who control them do.
