Mega corporations and big commercial banks answer to and protect the interests of their stockholders! Our government should only answer to and protect the interests of  "We The People!"  Guess which is really "too big to fail?"  Let's hope the new, independent people we elect in 2012 realize that!
 
 
If a candidate's chances of getting elected increase with the size or his or her wallet or worse yet, with the amount of corporate support he or she gets, then we no longer live in a democracy, we live in a banana republic.
