Why do conservatives hate the government, but love the corporate elite who run it?

Les S: Why do conservatives hate the government, but love the corporate elite who run it?
Why do they hate the government and think it is so bad and wrong, but they love the rich corporations who run our government and economy.

Why do they hate an official who is “elected by the people”, but love a rich oligarch who never worked a day in his life and inherited a multi-billion dollar company?

Why do they hate the government who provides protective services for its people, but love the corporation who pollutes our environment, rapes our resources, and runs our economy into the ground?

Can someone help me understand?

“Why do they hate the government and think it is so bad and wrong, but they love the rich corporations who run our government and economy.”

If you seriously think corporations run the government… why do you support the government??

Conservatives want government to be SMALLER and LESS powerful.

You think corporations are bad for some reason but you don’t realize that corporations only exist if they provide a valuable service to people.

The money that corporations have they have b/c at the end of the day someone decided to buy their product or service – which means, by someone’s free choice, money exchanged hands.

There is no free choice with the government – the money gets deducted from your paycheck and handed out in cornhusker kickbacks, pork, bribes, the louisiana purchase etc.

Examples, please? I see nothing but wild, unsupported rant here with no facts.

I really don’t understand it either… they are apologists for corporations who won’t even provide a living wage or basic benefits for their employees, yet attack government as if it is the devil itself, and they think these “American” companies are out to help us all, and don’t question why we have the biggest wealth disparity, by far, of all developed nations… most of these Republicans aren’t even in the $ 200k+ tax bracket, yet they somehow identify with and defend the interests of these greedy oligarchs who are making billions off the backs of America. It’s incomprehensible… mainly related to their religious beliefs and wedge social issues that will really never change no matter who is in power… brilliant move by the GOP leadership to keep their flock in line.

The Republican Party consistently helps out the ultra wealthy at the expense of the middle class. If their followers would just do a little research on their own they’d learn that real fast, and they’d stop voting Republican.

Conservatives have one unified thought brought to them by Fox Noise. Had the that one thought been, “hate the rich corporations’, they’d be hating now.

Cons are very gullible and love the same easy words over and over. Taxes, Patriots, small government, deficit. They lack any kind of mental capacity to really question the authority and reason for themselves. Thus, it is impossible for them to really comprehend how ridiculous and pathetic they look to those who do have the ability to reason pragmatically.
