another flawed question : “49. When corporate interests become too powerful, the state should take action to ensure the public interest is served.”

It assumes that the state stepping in will serve the public interest rather than making those corporate interests even more powerful.

Another thing. between a couple af questions, I said that America should not intervene anywhere unless to protect our own interests. So it put me down as someone who thinks America ‘should intervene around the world’.

On question 49, and others like it, I assumed that government was working AS IT SHOULD, IAW the constitution, and in this case I answered “Strongly Agree” (WE THE PEOPLE ARE the government; no one, including corporations, should be able to tyrannize the public.)

It assumes that the state stepping in will serve the public interest rather than making those corporate interests even more powerful.

It's also vague because power itself is meaningless. How is the corporation using that power? I don't mind a corporation having a lot of power if it is not used to the detriment of the public interest. Monopolies aren't illegal, abuse of monopoly power is.

Then there's also the issue of the definition of power. Economic power? Powerful because they're big and rich and everybody buys their poducts? Or are they considered powerful because they bought off three-quarters of Congress? I do have a problem with the latter.
