Contrary to popular belief, the big corporations absolutely oppose an actual free market because it means open competition and competitive prices.
And, of course, this is bullshit. The corporations know they could just buy out the competition. And, when they have a monopoly, the deregulated market will suit them just fine. They donate their money all around to play the field, get into the pockets of politicians on both sides of the aisle.
If it's bullshit than why do corporations always oppose any actual libertarian type candidate? Why would they oppose any free market reforms and fight tooth and nail against them? Yeah they donate to both major parties. Both parties are mostly bought off. You're simplistic idea of deregulation suits them just fine isn't reality. It depends on the regulation being passed.
You are unread on this subject. You have no idea what you're even talking about. Corporations have always went to government to create legal monopolies, to keep competitors out, to regulate smaller competitors off the market and make it harder for smaller business to compete. Regulatory capture is absolutely a real problem in the economy that many economists are aware of.
