Governments and corporations are just not clearly separable entities.

Corporate executives regularly go in to politics, and there influence legislation or regulations that affects the industries they came from or award government contracts to their former employers or other companies which they wind up working for at high paying jobs after they leave government.

It's an open secret in Washington that after leaving office politicians get cushy, high paying jobs at firms they favored while in office.

The back scratching between corporations and governments never stops.
