From my point of view, government is far less accountable than a typical private corporation. Voting is occasional and highly manipulatable. The same people shuffle around different posts. It can compel revenue through pointing guns at people and locking them up in cages.
It's not like a business that has to meet payroll to survive by attracting customers. That's accountability.

Sometimes the majority is wrong (as has often been the case in history). In a democracy, there is no recourse for the minority. With the private sector, the minority in theory has the option to break away. Don't get me wrong, democracy is great, but it is a means to an end, not an end in itself.
