The root of the problem is that corporations have fooled governments into mixing up 'consumers' with 'people'. Governments should serve people, not consumers. This is a big mistake because people spend most of their lives working; this means that the average person spends the vast majority of their time producing value instead of consuming it. So the average person is not a consumer, they're a producer. The biggest consumers are rich people. Whenever you make laws to protect consumers, you're mostly protecting rich people. As wealth becomes increasingly centralized, this statement becomes increasingly true and it becomes a vicious cycle.
