That's idiotic. Why would you distrust the government while trusting unelected people with disproportionate levels of access to and influence on politicians? I'm not a communist or anything, but I still see corporations as a power that potentially competes against my interests the same as any other force in politics, regardless of whether or not I support them. It's just common sense.
