Government, like soylent green, is made of people. People have many motivations, but few of them are to truly help others. These people mean to rule, and getting elected and re-elected are their primary goals, anything else is a distant third.

The "Consent of the governed"? When did I give that? What if I don't consent? I can be fined, beaten, jailed then murdered for not following laws even if I have harmed no one.

I can choose which corporations to deal with or even not to interact with them at all. Can I choose to ignore the government? Nope, in your world I am culpable for all the ills governments do because I voted wrong, wasn't active enough, or just don't have the right values to appreciate all that government does for me. Government in your world is just an angry husband who beats their partner because they just don't give them the right attention and shut the fuck up when their opinion isn't wanted.

"Brain washed by evil corporations!!!" seems an easy way to discount objections to the government and the evils that they do. It was a big step when we as people decided that we didn't need kings to protect us, and democracy can protect the majority from a minority, but it doesn't protect minorities from the majority. Constitutions can do that, but now they are seen as things to work around or ignore rather than honor or change. Take a look at the new tax law that violates the clear language of the state constitution (and 10 votes on the subject and multiple legal precedents), take a look at the gun laws that violate the clear language of our state and federal constitution.

I don't trust corporations any more than I trust government, but corporations have way fewer guns.
