I think a big problem is that people (this isn't directed at anyone in particular, but rather a general statement) think in an either or way. You are either pro-corporate (yay, hard work and ingenuity!) and anti-government (boo, freedom stealing inept bureaucracy!) , or you are pro-government (Yay democracatic for the people rulership!) and anti-corporate (boo greedy seal sweatshop owning fat cats!). Fuck that. They are both terrible things. it's not a question of whether or not too much government can ruin a country. We can look back at history and see that. It's not a question of whether or not corporate entities will corrupt governments, and harm the public for profit, just look outside. It's a question of which will destroy the US first. Because they both will destroy us.
Simply saying, boo government. Shrinking them will save us! or saying Boo corporations more regulations are needed to keep them under control! Are naive, ideal driven nonsense. Because you're just trying to pick which group gains power and uses it to ruin the country.
The US has been the great experiment from great minds with great philosophies. But now we are seeing the end result of capitalism+democracy. And it's a system that logically self destructs. The person or persons that can come up with the next great experiment will be the ones in the history books in the future.
