Big corporations can afford to buy the politicians. Small businesses can't. It really is that simple.

What we have in the United States today is a form of plutocratic corporatism , not capitalism. It clearly favors the 0.1% investor class and the huge mega-corporations. We do not have communism or socialism (yet) but we're certainly heading that way. The "solution" put forth by the left is exactly that - a communist society. They would crush / nationalize businesses that today are largely corporate in nature and the pendulum would very quickly whip the other direction.

We definitely do NOT need more regulations on businesses - we need fewer. We need incentives for small businesses to start up and thrive and we need a simpler tax code that doesn't crush motivated people trying to start businesses.

Basically, we need services to be provided by many smaller competitive businesses - not huge corporations that operate largely outside of the law and / or internationally and not the government doing it by force. This is the way that America functioned (quite well) for many decades. The biggest issue as I see it is anti-competitive practices, whether at the hands of big corporations or big government. Either one doesn't help.
