exactly the point. If the Occupy movement believes corporations have so much control, how come we have so many massive swings in power?

The exact same thing could be said for the influence of the Unions....

I don't think you can conflate the two together.

Corporations aren't the ones that vote. They get deep into the politician's pocket once the politician gets to office.

I think that's more a reflection on how politically charged our system has become. Pragmatic solutions are politically dangerous inside the beltway. As such, there's less constructive activity and people naturally gravitate to the minority party...which in a few years becomes the majority.

Lather rinse repeat.
