The problem is the line between corporations and governments gets more blurred by the day.
I agree with that. I would also add that great swaths of society, from the lowest consumer to the largest producer, have been willing to substitute the constraints of personal morality with the restraints of law and to equate the terms "ethical" with "legal".
When an influential bloc gets power over legislators and gets laws passed that favor them over others, they have no moral constraint preventing them from abusing that law to the detriment of those outside that bloc. This applies not only to crony capitalists, but to the affirmative action and blanket amnesty industries at all. It's a candle of abuse that burns at both ends.
