>> The wealthy and corporations have gotten even greater control over the legislative process than ever before. I defy you to name a wealthy person or corporation who has as much "control over the legislative process" as the unions, which are funded by the middle class.

The thing is, I believe it's actually BETTER for corporations if EVERYONE's boat rises. I think this is the clear lesson of the 90's. Corporations need to get a clue, as Henry Ford did, when he doubled his employees pay so that they too, would be able to buy a Ford. It paid then, and it would pay now. One corporation I admire now is Costo. They pay and treat their employees well, and you feel that when you shop there. The opposite of that is WalMart, although I sometimes shop there too.
