Corporatism is the enemy of free market capitalism.

Capitalists assume the risks of competing in a competitive free market, and are rewarded only if they are successful in their endeavors.
Corporatists are risk averse, they utilize their economic/political influence to reduce and eliminate the risk associated with competing in a competitive market.

Exactly correct. Corporations need government to influence policy or they would, in many cases, fail in the marketplace.

With all due respect to lincoln though, he was wrong. Labor in and of itself has little value.
