Nonsense. When Tucker tried to buy steel for his car the big automakers threatened to take business away from anyone selling steel to them. There are a lot of anticompetitive practices used to harrass legitimate competition. But they will use the government as a weapon against competition like the big four and Tucker auto, or the Rockefellars and Howard Hughes. In fact the biggest corrupting influence in government is business lobbying in self interest and politicians acting against public interest. > > Let's also not forget that CORPORATIONS CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT GOVERNMENTS.
