So, I believe Government will always be a greater threat than any private institution.
Well, I don't. They both bear watching.

I think you will find history supports me. Recall the British East India company, a private company that actually governed, created the laws for parts of india and did quite well. This isn't a good example because the private company WAS the government.

But what is the worst thing a private company ever did? Now, what is the worst thing government ever did? See the difference? In fact, private companies only become dangerous when they use and manipulate government. The less power government has the less 'influence' 'wealth' and 'power' it will have to market to private companies and 'do things' in their interest.

Suggest you learn a bit more history than you think you know about this. You picked a very very bad example to support your point of view.
