corporations v. fed govt. (Score 1)

"There isn't a corporation in the US that's a match against the power of the federal government" If you mean that they don't have the military power, then you're right. On the other hand, I think corporate power in America, and corporate influence over government in America, is at an all-time high - and that the balance of power in American government has shifted to corporations. The rise of lobbying, the decline of public interest in non-local/personal issues and the recent Republican hegemony have all benefited corporations. They don't have to match the power of the federal government because it works for them.
