[Willie Green]

The power of any multinational corporation is as a mooncast shadow compared to the power of the state

Are you suggesting that multinational corporations don't utilize their economic resources to exert influence over Congress and government policies for their own benefit?

Yeah, just like I and millions of other conservatives do through the NRA and the Republican Party? If you have a problem with special interests exerting influence in Washington, D.C., there is a simple solution to that problem. Vastly reduce the amount of power the federal gov't has and shareholders, via the corporations that they have an ownership interest in, won't have to pay protection money to the pols that wield power in Washington.

Of course not but remember: you can't buy what's not for sale.
