Isn't this begging the question? Some people's trust in governments has been going down, and some people's trust in corporations has been going up, but it's far from universal or strictly correlated. Personally, I fervently hope that the general populace never becomes so deluded as to think that companies have our best interests more at heart than governments do. Even a corrupted government can, with effort, be cleaned up and made to function correctly again; a self-interested, fully-profit-driven, amoral company is working as intended.
