We elect these people. Yes, Obama has tons of ties to Goldman Sachs.
Occupy says that's over. Dems, Republicans, it doesn't matter - if you are owned by lobbyists, if you govern for them and not us, your days are numbered. It's that simple.
Occupy has spread to 200 occupations world-wide. It will be the most potent political force in the next election. It is completely non-partisan.
That scares the status quo corporatists, as they will not be able to purchase it, as they did the Tea Party.

this is one of the reasons i advocate term limits. people can't become entrenched and send pork back for their constituents to get fat on, if they can't stay long enough to become 'too big to fail'.
as for cain, he's not a current officeholder, not sure what you mentioned him for. it's the decades-long senators and representatives who have figured out how to work the system.
