Key word, "perceive".

what injustices you perceive to have been committed? Corporations buying politicians create an unlevel playing field, and allows gov't to subject Joe Lunchbox to the servitude of unequal taxation and essentially no representation. Some of the largest corporations are not even "American", they are multinational, domiciled abroad, leaving profits offshore, paying little or no taxes, exporting jobs to the Third World... They are more accurately described as un-American predators. Enron is a prime example. One defense, tho' weak, is to form your own corporation and attempt to get some tax benefits. This helps you, but doesn't help the country.
