:Corporations do have one advantage over local governments, they are not accountable to the people, and if it looks like they do not get their way, they buy a politician or two and get a law tossed on as a hidden rider at the Federal or State level to do what they want, despite what the people want or what may have been the right thing to do.
Government does everything it can to kill private enterprise every day. Why is it surprising when shareholders of private companies try to fight back? There's nothing wrong with looking out for your own interests when you have parasites in government trying to leech off your success.
