The difference is, corporations hire people based on profit and loss. Governments just take money and dole it out based on their political viability - whatever it takes to stay in power. There is no system as ridiculus as handing over all of your money to a government and hoping they'll take care of you. The individuals doling out the money will be the only ones who are wealthy. Any trend toward such a government needs to be resisted.
Ah, a NeoCon to the core, I see - privatize everything - business knows best! Then only the wealthy will have police, fire, sanitation, etc. and all those will be run in the most profitable way possible, meaning the crappiest, cheapest service they can get away with. And if they're a monopoly, which they most likely would be, then it's that much worse.
