That's where the naivete comes in.
Yes, they absolutely will advocate for policies that are harmful to the country and beneficial for their constituents. You're beyond naive if you think otherwise.

I love it when Dylan recommends execution. Always makes my day.
Let me just include myself in that gassing group by saying I think the method by which we empower corporations is weird. Why not simply draft a law that explicitly lays our their rights, instead of relying upon some sort of weird personhood argument? It seems to me that they could be afforded much of the same freedoms, while also being prohibited from certain undesirable actions, pretty easily by just defining their powers.
