The disconnect would be between a gov. agency freeing money for national companies, and investors who can invest in whatever they want, including investing in other countries and bribing the gov. to free more money.

As you point out investors are not stupid, but why should they be trusted to do the right thing for everyone else ?

They shouldn't, which is why the corporate tax rate should be raised.
