A corporation doesn't need the govt to produce a good or service. Govt needs the corporation for taxes to fund dept, agencies, entitlements, ss, welfare, military.
Bailouts, tax loopholes, overregulation, underregulation, subsidies, lobbyists, etc, etc....
Only if 'crony capitalism' was so simple, that would hold true.
A corporation, scorp, llc, inc needs none of that to survive. But, government has to have taxes to survive.
Where would the corporations be if not for our 761 military bases around the world that provide economic and financial stability in markets around the world?
Minus the corporations, we could just beef up the national guard for border protection and let the corporations pay for their own military with their own money and sons and daughers.
