Forum Post: capitalism and democracy

The politicians need money to get elected, so they ask for money from corporations. This money they get from us so they can make laws that support them. When we were gullible enough to elect George W. Bush a man we made countless mistakes, led us into a war in iraq for dubious reasons and still kept many of his laissez faire policies even as obama get elected. This occupy wall street protest should be about getting americans to support financial policies that are in their best interest so that politicians have to wriggle out or at least accept blame from the people.
