I'm just refuting Manus' claim that businesses are more evil than governments, and the evidence supports me.

That is not true.  Just look into coal mining and the treatment of miners here in the United States.  And you think thats bad, imagine how bad is it in less fortunate places of the world.  Thankfully, in America the government regulates industry so much that they are unable to assasinate union leaders or force people to work for practically nothing.  That is not true in other countries, surely you've heard about sweat shops and child labor.

Fundamentally, elected leaders answer to the people who elected them while business owners answer to themselves.  The admistration of the United States of America is a democracy, while the administration of Ted's lumber mill would be a more like a dictatorship.
