You too ignore the source of State capture: corporate power, which is derived from and based on capitalism.

Libertarians, utopian economists, and Republicans have done a good job in shifting the focus on inquiry (and blame) from corporations and capitalism to government. You do the same.

Nah ah don't, Bill.

Let me help you a little here:

A corporation is a legal entity that only exists in the context of the state/government.

Corporations cannot / do not exist outside "The Matrix" that is the state.

Ah, let me explain that (again).

When the bank teller hands over the cash to the bank robber with a gun in his face, we don't blame the robbery on the bank teller.

In this case you confuse the bank teller (government) with the bank robbers (capitalists).
