In my opinion, you've got that backwards: it's business controlling
government. Those with billions of dollars also control the media,
and they pretty much decide who runs, and how successful they are. If
you're in doubt about whether global mega-bankers, or politicians, are
in control, take a look at the so-called free-trade issue that has
been destroying USA for many years. Democrat or Republican, makes
zero difference--the "trade" deficit grows and grows and grows.
Bankers and corporate elites get richer, everybody else loses.

(I put quotes on "trade" because it isn't trade--it's simply USA
buying stuff with paper, and the Chinese a) hoarding the paper so they
can destroy us with it at will, and b) with some of it, they are
buying the USA.)
