Corporations are a legal status granted by government, and mega corporations demand political favors while politicians demand corporate support for their destructive behavior, and both thrive primarily though extorting small businesses and workers as net tax consumers. The demands that we "tax the rich" never address how much tax revenue finds it's early into the hands of these politically-connected millionaires and billionaires, and no one wants to pare back the leviathan state of bureaucracy with its revolving doors between corporate boardrooms and regulatory agencies.
I once saw a rather crude cartoon showing government and the mega corporations as stick figures. One panel captioned something like "how the left sees things" had the corporate figure railing the government. The next showed "how the right sees things" reversed the roles. Finally, "how it really is" showed mutual masturbation. I think there is some accuracy there.
People know this, and the Trump/Musk rhetoric about a D.O.G.E. pander to these concerns without any likelihood of real change.
