Daye, this is huge question that probably deserves its own thread.

It boils down to following - as a democratically elected government, should its priority be protecting corporate interests and profits or protecting citizens and their quality of life?



First off we, the USA, are a Representative Republic not a Democracy. Secondly every argument you make has nothing to do with what this country was founded on.
All of your arguments are based on a Socialist or Communist country, so try and not mix the two.

So now that you know what country we are talking about, the priority of the government it to keep out of the way of corporations and the citizens.
The only protecting they need to do is make sure the Constitution is being upheld and that our shores are protected.
There is no distinction between protecting corporations or citizens as they are all citizens.
