In my experience I would much rather deal with corporate management than government bureaucracy. The fact that I have a vote means nothing to them.

Our government has been working very hard over decades to minimize the impact of the voter. Through gerrymandering, voter suppression, collusion within political parties, etc. and the amount of open corruption going on today shows that our government doesn't think they need to be very concerned about the voters at this point.

I still believe in democracy as a system however. It does need to be protected and maintained though. Jefferson said that "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" and right now the tree is starting to look parched, but I'm still hoping we can bring it back into health with just a little more care and attention.

And yet you would still support them nationalizing a company? If you say the government can be fixed, it needs to be fixed before they can get their hands on anything else and ruin it.
