Corporations need to deliver lots of value to their customers to get somewhere in the first place. If you want power it's much easier to become a politician and just blame corporations and spend the money they make and take the credit.

I don't think it's easy to become a politician. Only a certain number of slots are available.

... Until they reach a certain size and then "customers" are just an annoying detail in the quest to maximize share holder value.

I don't want to challenge people's deeply held faiths, but I don't think we need the silly "maximise shareholder value" chant in every single conversation thread.

But we do need “taxes are theft”?

(They’re not.)


Whataboutisms in general are also not great.
