You could make an arguement that businesses that have tight relationships with the state do this. Entrenched companies.

I think it has to be more than a tight relationship, which would then put them into the second category I listed. I'm thinking of the ones who basically hire the state to rob the public and give it to themselves.

Bernie Sanders, JB Pritzker, Gavin Newsom, Tom Steyer, MS-13, the teachers' union. You know. The archons and principalities, the rulers of darkness.
