Blue, no, business can have force behind it - if the gov't lets it.

The gov't has no such restriction.

So business pays K Street, K Street in turn pieces off some congress critters and business does what it damn pleases.

Check the SCOTUS records I am sure there is more that one isntance where 'government' did not get do do what it wanted.

The people who run the government have to stand for re-election. There is no democracy in corporate America. Even to the extent that shareholders get to vote, it is one dollar one vote. In most instances (unless the people had the foresight to elect a union), one appeals a discharge decision to the person who fired them, or the one who signed off on the decision in the first place. A person who has invested years in the success of a company, and has built up things of value, like seniority, vacation and retirement can have all of that taken away for no good reason. There is no due process of law in the corporate fiefdom.
