@emptywheel Then why not argue for smaller govt and less power for the 'bought' elites to wield?

@NYLibertariann Bc the reason govt is so easy to buy is bc corporations have outstripped govt power? -
@emptywheel But if they bought the elite then large govt only grows their power? -
@NYLibertariann If govt is TOO EASILY bought bc it has too little power vis a vis corporations making it smaller doesn't help. -
@emptywheel But if govt gets bought whether it is small or large, then limiting the damage by shrinking govt seems sensible to me. -
@NYLibertariann How does that limit damage at all? The harm here is most powerful--large corporations--running roughshod. -
@emptywheel If corporations are going to bend government to their will, then I'd rather have government effect my life as little as possible -
@NYLibertariann LOL. Think you're missing the point, but good luck to your corporate servitude!
