Ironic, what's so naive to the point that it's laughable are those people who believe in socialism and massive government.
I didn't say there should be no government regulation, I said government should be limited. The ultra wealthy corporations and individuals you rail against, are you aware that they use government to enrich themselves even further? Rich donors control both parties, don't fool yourself into believing far left politicians have your best interests at heart. They don't.

So cut out the middleman right? Might as well just let them openly enrich themselves without that pesky government trying to interfere.

This back-and-forth doesn't seem productive. You keep creating a straw man argument, an argument that I am not making. Some government regulation is necessary, I am not an anarchist, but I am a realist.

This is not a both sides are bad issue when you look at the actual evidence.
