There's a list 13 congressmen who took on lobbyists as their staff days after being elected. Hell dude, Pat Toomey was a leading member of the Club for Growth, which is an explicitly corporatist organization. As for Soros funding OWS, your article didn't actually show that. It showed Soros funded a magazine that called for this protest. Big fucking deal. My beliefs aren't based on that kind of stuff. Yes, I think rich people buying our POLITICAL SYSTEM is a big problem. But currently we have a political system that is based on rich people throwing their money around and if I have to team up with a Soros or a Buffet to get positive change then so-be-it. But don't get me wrong, if I saw a chance to ban the Soros', Buffets, Murdochs, Kochs, unions, businesses from dumping massive anonymous amounts of money to political campaigns, I would.
