That's not how capitalism works. Everyone who actually manages a company would prefer to keep the government at a distance.

People at the bottom can join each other and work together. They can form a cooperative or any other organization they want.

You think CEO's aren't in bed with politicians? You're describing capitalism on paper, it's nothing like it was 100 years ago. Sure companies hate when politicians stifle their progress, but campaigns are funded by the wealthy.
