In America business and government are not actually separate. This is important to understand because it’s a structural feature of the American economy. We are a true capitalist libertaria. The government is comprised of the companies and people in business
American business is America itself and the government is a co-leader whose purpose is to facilitate American business interests.
This isn’t corruption like in the movies where you pay off crooked cops (which doesn’t really happen here). This is what businesses and individuals competing for political power looks like in a true capitalist libertaria.

Who would of guessed a bunch of wealthy landowners would design a system to enrich themselves and their friends!?
Bonus points for making people believe in lofty ideals like justice and equality meanwhile allowing pure unfettered corruption to run everything.
