What does "depend on gov't power" have to do with it? If you monopoly is raking in billions and the cost of a congressional race is millions, then of course you're gonna get the government on your side a bunch of the time.

The question is, is this a problem with "government" or a problem with "bribery".

It depends. Do you think that we should treat orphans who kill their parents different from other orphans?
