(Written in response to a comment suggesting the US government needs to shrink because it is causing corruption in America and the large divide between rich and poor)
The government needs to be more powerful than any one (or group of) corporations, colluding with each other. Of course, Congress is currently owned by these corporations, but the answer is to rid the government of this corrupting influence, not to weaken the government and hand the power over solely to the multi-nationals.
Governments need to be overseen by powerful, independent, anti-corruption organisations and the Supreme Court needs the same process to occur to it, so that corrupt justices siding with corporate benefactors are done away with.
The answer doesn't lie in weakening the government, but in de-corrupting it! After all, a well functioning government is needed to promote the interests of the people, often against greedy, self-serving corporations!
