Do American libertarians see corporate power as a possible threat to individual liberty?

Sure.   And a little old lady with a mean streak could be a possible threat as well.   This is not a good argument for special regulations of corporations or old ladies.   Neither are necessarily -- by their nature -- a threat to individual liberty.   The libertarian view would be to prohibit the initiation of aggression by me, by you, by old ladies and by corporations.
