I personally believe it is a mixture of
1) American apathy to corporate behavior
2) Corporations being most willing to dedicate resources to lobbying in the US (compared to European countries) due to its corporate friendly legal and legislature systems and extremely powerful economy

- huntertwo 7y agoYeah, that was part of what I was trying to communicate. I think another political aspect is the corporate influence on political media that heavily influences the average voter's stance on many issues related to corporate governance. I.e. CNN/Fox/NBC etc. have vast and diverse corporate goals but also control much of the political discussion that influences voters. The fact that many media companies exist under the same conglomeration only exasperates this effect.
