You have to fix the system before you can make that argument.
The current system is: Big Money Interests vs The People's Interests
Big corps do not want government getting in the way of their profit. They want to rape the people without any checks and balances whatsoever.
The Big Money People do not want environmental regulations. They do not want alternative energy research. They do not want subsidized healthcare that takes away from their profit. They do not want banking regulations, etc.
Without an all-out system change the government is the only entity that stands between the people, and all-out corporate control.
I don't like big government either, but unless we restart from scratch, a balance is still needed, however it can be achieved.
