Big business, in other words. Simple: make government stop protecting & catering to 'em. Otherwise: leave 'em be.

"we just disagree on what the primary threats are."
Actually, if you think on it, we aren't that far apart. You want corps and the like reduced in power and scope; so do I. Where we disagree: you want gov to regulate 'em; I want gov to stop -- as I say -- protecting & catering to 'em.
You'd monitor & micromanage 'em; I'd throw 'em into the wilderness to fend for themselves.
What we disagree on, then, is the proper role of American 'government'.

Agreed, on every point. You and I want the same things, for the same reasons. Just a different idea of what gets us there. I'd like to think that's a valuable lesson for American politics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
