This idea that every politician is owned by big business should actually look at the makeup of the senate. Herb Kohl is worth 100's of millions. Ron Johnson,100's of millions. These men can't be bought. I know Ron Johnson. He is in the plastics business. He ran for senate because he was tired of the way things run in Washington.
Lastly,the president of the country has veto power over any bill. So I still believe that he indeed holds the power.

i would never say that every politician is owned by corporate, but i would say that the vast majority are..
i would say, where is the strong banking regulation that both sides promised after the meltdown..
did anyone offer to suspend pay of congress until the debt issue has been resolved?
no... then can threaten to not cut SS checks, but never their own pay..
the whole system is broken...
