Because that hasn't happened already, even with a huge government.

Corporations are actually government entities. One of those handy things that help businesses get big enough to manipulate governments.

A business doesn't just apply as a corporation for tax benefits, it also does so for the limited liability. So when they unwittingly contaminate your property, or accidentally poison you with rancid meat, the owner of the corporation won't have to sell their house to settle the lawsuits that follow their companies negligence.

So that government you think protects you from big business, passes the risks that business owner would normally have to take upon himself, onto you.

While I have no issues with these arguments or their intent, I feel like this is not the forum for such a discussion. There are much better venues for political discourse than HN - let's keep it about tech.
