That's only true for small and medium business. If businesses become big enough, they practically speaking become part of the government except with private profits. Then there are monopolies and competitors who are a bit more coordinated than they should be. Big business' power is more limited but in return they get less oversight and a lot more independence. It evens out.
There are many situations where corporations can take your money without permission. A monopoly in a sector you can't do without or a company willing to work the government are obvious examples. Far more insidious are companies who own media, as shown by Berlusconi, Greek oligarchs, Fox News et. al.
