Counterpoint: Gov Taxes corporations, and because of that corporations hate Gov. Therefor, some Gov must be good.

The government taxes corporations as part of its mission to stabilize capitalism, i.e. to save the corporations from their own worst impulses. Capitalists say they hate the government, and indeed they sometimes individually clash with the State or its figureheads, but capitalists happily accept government money and protection from the proletariat.
And because the scope of government has increased, i.e. because governments simply do a lot more stuff than usual, occasionally they do things that are decent or uncontroversial. In a truly free society, these things should be handled by freely associated groups operating in continuous alignment with and consent from their communities, operating without the pernicious influence of capital and other oppressive, hierarchical, authoritarian social structures.
In conclusion: corporations and governments are on the same team. Both deserve to be relegated to the dustbin of history ancom.

No, you said regulate them. Which would be a form of governance. Purely Semantics.
