Are governments or corporations more beholden to their customers/citizens?

[SandYFan]

I tend to think companies have a closer eye on what their customers want. Elected officials also try to say and do things to placate the voters, but in the end, the voter has to choose between two people (most of the time), where companies have tons of competition and places customers can go if they aren't happy.

Thanks for the rhetorical poll question.

Any time! What is your baby so sad about? At that age, he really should be screaming his lungs out if he's troubled in any way. The ennui is weirding me out.

He's not sad, just disappointed.

There seems to be only one possible answer given that corporations are bound by laws which require them to be responsible to their shareholders. Many governments around the world are bound in no such way and in fact openly operate to the contrary of that same principle.

That being said, I wont vote in a public poll because I dont want people to see my vote and then make fun of me for it

Companies have to impress their customers daily. They're competing with dozens of other companies. Government officials only have to do it at election time. They compete with one other guy in the election.

Yeah, a "both" or "neither" option would have been appreciated.

I think I'll post a new poll: "Do you prefer water or beer" with the options of "Yes" and "Chicken".

A "both" or "neither" response makes no sense.
