Business is in complete control of the machinery of government. The trend today is to eliminate government regulations and give corporations a free ride. They say workers and the public would be nothing without them. However, it is the workers who produce. Capital is only the fruit of labor and could not have existed had not labor first existed.
Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much the higher consideration.
This country once had strong labor unions to negotiate the higher wages and better working conditions workers deserved. When we had New Deal liberalism, between 1932 and 1970, we had a strong middle class and greater economic equality than at any other time in our history. Since moving away from the liberalism of FDR, Truman, JFK and LBJ, income inequality has grown. Without government regulation, corporate America won't voluntarily act as responsible stewards of the economy, the environment, the health care system or anything else. When government eased regulations on the banking and savings and loan institutions in the 1980s, corporations looted the banking system.
