When it all comes down to it, the government is responsible to the people of our country. Business is not.

You can say that, well, if business treats the people badly, the people will just stop going there. Businesses can still survive, because they can always go to markets in other countries. There are many businesses that have nothing to do with the US, but still flourish financially.

Government is not the same way. Our government can't simply pack up things and go run France. Without us, they are nothing. While it may seem otherwise at times, our government is wholly and entirely dependent on us.

Given these choices, I would always support the government over business. As long as businesses put profit before people, the government will always be my choice.
