Corporations are formed of human beings, so are prone to corruption as 
much as the governments.
But they pay the government officials to obtain a service (for example 
to buy some stuff at higher prices; or to make laws that prevent new 
competitors to enter in a market).
Biggest the government, biggest the services the "business" (any 
organized group) is able to obtain if it pay the right people in the 
right positions. And more difficult for the general public to understand 
what the government do, where it is screwing up and to change it.
