The big sales pitch for socialism over free enterprise, for the government taking control of corporations, is that it's for "the protection of the people." But while there's no question that corporations are often corrupt, monopolistic and abusive-- so is government. There's a simple reason for that, guns don't kill people, and corporations don't steal from or abuse people. Only people do. And people will take those human failings with them into the boardroom as much as they will into the halls of government.
