Replace conservatives with "government corruption" and regulatory capture and you'd be more accurate.

It takes more than just bunch of geriatric politicians to corrupt the entire state and federal governments so completely.

Amazon, Nestle, (any weapons manufacturers), etc. those are the ones in control.

And they DO pay "taxes". Trillions of dollars in tax. They're just not paying taxes to the governments in the way we want/think.

Amazon execs are probably constantly looking for ways to reduce the amount they need to spend to control governments.

Think about who benefits most from a non functional government and regulations
