I always find it funny nowadays when people say stuff like this. Like corporations don't have a lot of bagage themselves.
Government is riddled with problems, but they aren't legally required to make more money for share holders which sets an agenda from the outset.
I don't remember government types going to jail for corruption and ripping off pension plans however incompetant they may be.
Don't let the government spend your money is an ingenius ploy of the right. Whether you want a mix or not, most would probably agree that we wouldn't like US style health care. And Plenty of people I know rave about government auto insurance in BC over the private rates etc. we pay (in Alberta).
There's no perfect system.
