Big business has more power than "we the people". Business has plenty of money and they are focused. "We the people" are fragmented and rarely focused. We have the choice between two parties but both are owned by big business.

Big Labor and Big Law have more power than Big Business. Check the donations.

Throughout this exchange you have denied the existence of economic power. no, i haven't. i just asked you to define it. You are using the word power as defined by yourself, you're doing what is known as 'double talk'. i haven't defined 'power', and i have used it as it's commonly used. when you harp on the point that government has the ability to compell and big business doesn't most people can see what i'm saying is true. You also ignore that the word power can be used to indicate influence. influence isn't force.
