This is exactly the point of having a democratic government. The elected government should, in theory, represent your average working class instead of corporations, since average working class represent the biggest percentage of our population (or any functional society).

If we take your example on free markets and Timmies. If Timmies are unable to operate without government sponsored TFW, they should go out of business and get replaced by competition. Instead, our government sided with corporations, hence we have programs like LMIA/TFW.

It's really a shame that we have come to this.
