I agree with that but I don't think its the whole story. I think that Obama will fund the regulatory agencies and he will do more to protect Americans then any republican.
He probably wont do enough but I also recognize that big business employs more people and does more for this economy then just about anything else and becuase of that they do deserve to be heard.
The problem is they have to much say.
Hell Bush let big business write our national policies.
I do agree that to much of our foreign policy is dictated by business interests but that also has another side in that the more the worlds economy is reliant on globalization the less chance there is of more world wars.
