They put out products that kill people. Don't tell people it will lead to early death, then rake in a ton of money for it. When people start to notice it's killing them, they run to the government to protect them. Corporations are nothing but shields for the filthy-rich.

Our ancestors knew this. That's the whole reason behind the Boston Tea Party. And the corporation involved in shielding kings, lords, dukes, earls and barons wealth was the East Indian Tea Company.
