Wait, I think this makes some sense now...

“One of their favorite ways to increase their power is by creating programs that dispense subsidized government benefits, such as oil subsidies and food subsidies,” he writes. “These programs make corporations dependent on government. And once corporations are dependent, they feel they can’t afford to have the programs taken away, no matter how inefficient, polluting, or costly their products are to the rest of society.”
