it operates on the assumption they stay within the boundaries of their field; which they don't. it goes both ways; letting them be involved on government contracting, lobbying etc. prevents the government from staying out of corporate involvement (shout out to Northrop Grumman!). just like there should be separation of church and state (I say should because there clearly isn't), there needs to be serration of corps and state
Why would you think I'm ok with lobbying and donating, if I want government out of the mix? That doesn't even make sense. For clarification, the definition of lobbying: the act of attempting to influence decisions made by officials in the government, most often legislators or members of regulatory agencies. Same exact can be said for donating. So obviously, I am not ok with that.
