It is a government of the people, by the people and for the people. The corporations are for the corporations, only, and the people are irrelevant. That is the difference between government control and corporate control, and that is why we absolutely need for government to be able to regulate corporations. It is also why corporations don't want to be regulated -- it is in their interest to collude, to monopolize, to over-price, to pollute, to kill. They spew their anti-government rhetoric to the masses via Fox News, talk radio, etc., and tens of millions of people believe every lie they hear. Mike
