Controlling the Federal Reserve, holds more power than any government in the world.

Billionaires and corporations are doing very fine right now. They have so much extra cash they are just giving it away to Romney.

Just think how much good the $400 MILLION the unions spent to get obama elected could have done.

NO legs at all to stand on with this issue.
If you got rid of Super PACs and corporations being "people" the cost of running for office could decline.

Let's be clear here; the statement was taken out of the context in which it was delivered and has been twisted in intent for political gain like Romney's I like to fire people was. But you do have part of a point. Corporate America is doing fine under the Obama administration. They have been enjoying record profits and the value of their stocks has, on average, doubled. The private "sector" though is larger than corporations. It also includes people who would be employed if that sector were stronger than it is and revenues that would flow to public entities.
