I was referring to the "people would not notice nearly as much".

No. I don't. Why is there a difference? You've still never explained
that, all you say is "that should be selfevident". Why do you not
trust government? It is made up of people, just like your beloved
corporations, and what's more, it's _elected_ by the people too!
If the representatives of the people are so repugnant to you, what
makes you think the people who put them there are so much better? Why
do you trust the government inherently less than "people"? Me, I have
no problem with this, I just don't trust anyone. Especially anyone i
have no influence on whatsoever.
