> Companies are also entities subject to laws, and enforcement of laws against companies absolutely involves strong-arming them. I'm sorry, what? Citizens vote for politicians that support their view/positions, or what they think is best for the country. Companies are subject to these laws because it is, at some level, the will of the people. Companies are not strong-armed, they simply are not above the law or the will of the people. If we could get corporate money out of politics we'd probably see a lot of companies being held responsible for shitty decisions. If anything large companies strong-arm our government and political system in the USA and abroad. It takes an inordinate amount of vocal opposition and work from citizens to hold companies responsible for their behavior.
