Gov can break the company (stranglehold company has) but won't because money democracy.
*** the government that
can break a company only because of their political stance. That would be like China.
If people find a way to make tons of money without breaking the law, and ended up having more power in the society, let them be. It's still 100 times better than letting a government doing whatever they want instead.
You are from a democratic nation, you vote for the law makers no? if a law breaking company doesn't get punished hard enough it's voter's collective opinion that made such decision.
It's still democracy functioning as the way it is though.
I can agree that changing law to maintain more of a fair play in the business, as long as this is agreed by the majority of the voter.
Asking a government to break a company only because they made too much money is no no. It's not the problem of who has too much power, it's about maintaining democracy.
Merely acknowledging that it's doing whatever the *** it wants because they have the money to buy that power. And it's a broken system that could be better (but won't, obviously)
That is what CCP did all the time, they actively punish rich captalists to retain their power. In China captalists have significantly less power than the government because business can be shut down any time for any reason.
You will have a hard time convincing lots of people how this system is objectively
better.
You aren't a strong supporter of current society, I get it. But for a lot of people it's lesser of the two evils because other systems have been tried by different governments like CCP and it wasn't welcomed.
