I heard this once from a finance guy: If you want to convert someone into a cut-all-government right winger or libertarian, send them to work in government for a few years.

The only thing that checks it is companies going out of business or the government analog, which is struggle between agencies for funding and accolades. But as others have said large companies can muddle on for a long time and large anything can amass a lot of political and cultural cache and become too big to fail.
