Forum Post: Who represents the people?

Time after time, regulations are relaxed to the benefit of corporate giants at the taxpayers’ expense. When will the American people get leaders who don’t put money over serving the public’s interest? When will “We the People,” get true representation? Once upon a time politicians actually ran for office to serve the “People,” the public’s interest but we have allowed them to serve corporate America instead. And now, “We,” are at the tipping point of a permanent downward spiral of economic oblivion if we do not change course and elect leaders who care about the common folks. We need leaders with integrity, compassion, decency and morals. With the Supreme Courts decision in 2010, it is now “We The Corporations!” Corporations have the money to influence the votes of our elected leaders who are supposed to be working on behalf of the people who voted them in office. Instead our elected officials are being bought by the highest bidders. . So, who works for the working class of this country if our elected officials don’t?
