"corporate money owns congress, espcially from WS and the financial industry" I don't argue with this. I argue with banks directly owning and controlling the Fed, which they clearly don't. As for corporate control of congress, with the recent Supreme's decision, thanks to the conservative majority put in place there by the recent (R) presidents, you ain't seen NOTHING yet. Watch the next two election cycles, especially 2012, where they'll be beginning to hit their full stride. We'll have representatives from Exxon and Senators from Blue Cross (even more than we have now). We may be just lost. In the days of trust busting, it was the government that PROTECTED us from rapacious corporations. It brought us the end of child labor, the eight hour day, the forty hour week, etc.
