The check on corporations is competition. Don't like what they do, take your business elsewhere.
The huge problem is that this check isn't really working, because the FTC is asleep at the wheel. We have anti-monopoly laws on the books; they exist to ensure that consumers have adequate degrees of choice and companies have a check on blatantly abusive behavior. It's time to start enforcing them.
Break up giant corporations and prevent them from gaining a stranglehold on the market and much of the need for government regulation goes away.
