When the elected members of congress do not follow orders (the constitution), they are therefore invalid in my opinion and resistance to their unlawful power is necessitated.
As for corporations, they have bought & sold our politicians via special interest groups.
They are both out of control.
I agree. Corporations themselves tend to act like little facist regimes these days.
Because you can choose to refuse to do business with a corporation, but you can't refuse to do business with the government.
But it doesn't play out this way:
-Try choosing not to have a phone and internet and remaining competitive in the job market or socially.
-Try raising kids without video games and fast food.
-Try telling an asthma or allergy sufferer that they can choose not to breathe corporation produced pollution.
-Try working at a corporation in sales or marketing, and telling them 'sustainable' revenue is good enough... they want endless maximum growth.
-Try telling your 14 year old daughter that she doesn't have to be what advertisers say she should be, and she should do it without all their products.
-Try telling businesses near the Gulf Coast that they can opt out of the degredation of their life blood, the Gulf.
-Try telling a physician that the modern food industry can easily be refused... poof, no obese patients.
I could go on and on. We need both, but corporations are absolutely not to be trusted, especially nowadays. They are all too happy to take US money and jobs and relocate them to the 3rd World.
Who votes in that governing power. We the people are the government. Hating ourselves, fearing ourselves because we are easily swayed by money. We elect the people, we vote on the issues, how can you call yourself a bully? Unless you just are but the blame is with you and I, government isn't in place if we don't put it there. We could make new rules for them but we don't. Some try, none funded elections, no lobbying, but for some reason we like to keep the ability to be swayed open. I think we fear ourselves, we fear the propaganda telling us that we can't control ourselves so it's better to leave it open, even if the wolves are the ones getting in and us sheep are on the outside freaking out and complaining.
The "person" I voted for and who got elected, is rarely the person they told me they were. All too frequently it seems that my best interests are their's right up to the point that they get elected and start nursing at the Corporate Teat.

They nurse at the corporate teat before getting elected. Then, they milk the taxpayer in order to pay back the corporate interests who fronted the money for their election.

All good points, and they're in bed with each other.
Because government is more powerful than the corporate world.
