They are two different things.
The government is theoretically accountable to all citizens, and conducts orderly and regularly scheduled changes of power.
Big businesses are theoretically accountable to their owners and no one else.

To the extent a corporation's home nation has enforced laws and regulations, the corporation must operate within that framework. Try being Microsoft, raise a heavily armed militia in the US and start storming people's homes and threatening politicians, and see what happens to you.
The US Government can easily destroy any big business they choose to. They can attack it from dozens of angles. They can compel compliance to programs the corporations do not agree with, which has occurred to eg Yahoo and others with NSA spying.
There is still no such thing as a a big non-based corporation, one without an actual home country. There isn't a single actual example of it today.
It's harder to buy votes in government.
