I can sue the corporation. I can start a competing corporation. Elected governments also aren't as free as you'd think. Two parties control 99% of US politics.

Elected governments also aren't as free as you'd think. Two parties control 99% of US politics. Suppose I'm not a fan of trade wars; both parties are in favor of them right now.

I, earning $40,000 a year will take on the corporate giant that has a multimillion dollar legal budget and 30 full time lawyers and win... I know, I saw it in a movie once. The law books are filled with story after story of corporations doing fully illegal shit, then using money to delay it in court for decades... then laughably getting a tiny fine that represents less than 1% of the profits. TANSTAFL.

At least when a government bends you over it loses your vote, which sorta kinda matters to them. A corporation is incentivized to disregard your interests unless you are profitable to them, in which case they treat you like glorified livestock.
