In a federal country like this, politicians actually had no particularly good way to deal with capitalists.
During the Great Depression, the Federal Government had indeed brought down quite a few multinational corporations. However, it had to be noted that, in essence, none of those multinational corporations were native federal enterprises.
Moreover, they had intended to transfer their assets out of the Federation. That was why the federal authorities had moved against them, forcing them into bankruptcy and keeping their wealth within the country.

Even if they could drive the capitalists into a corner, the capitalists still had ways to protect themselves.
The Federal Government's electoral and rotation systems made it impossible for any politician to hold power forever. The more senior the politician, the more this was true!
As a result, when politics confronted capital, politicians had a great deal to worry about.
Capital was eternal, but politics and power were not.
If they failed to kill capital with one blow, what would happen once they left the center of power and those people began taking revenge? Everyone had plenty of concerns, so there was no way to reach a consensus on this matter.
