And where is it written that even good corporations should be insulated from any form of public ownership? Corporations aren't reluctant to seek public "bailouts", willingly trading bonds or ownership stakes to get them.
It takes _two_ willing parties to do a deal.
The banks were "too big to fail" and as such were able to completely screw over the tapayers in a "heads we win tails you lose" scam.
Shareholders never halt the increase the remuneration for CEOs in an unending spiral whilst simultaneously laying off workers to drive wages for the peons down. US and UK CEO to median wage ratios are obscene.
It is no surprise that they all sit on each others remuneration committees and make trite claims like "we are all in it together".
