Accoutability
A report mentions:
As on many issues, the difference in opinion between the Political Class and the rest of the nation is larger than the gap between the political parties. By an 84% to seven percent (7%) margin, the Political Class prefers federal subsidies over bankruptcy. By a 67% to 21% margin, those in the Political Class favor federal loan guarantees to help California raise money (see more on the Political Class).
Voters have consistently opposed federal bailout funds for the auto industry, the banking industry and insurance companies. Looking back on the bailouts that were provided, most continue to believe they were a bad idea.
Where is the rapid ready accountability of politicians ignoring the will of the people? Still waiting for this accountability be placed on politicians.

My guess is you will see it in Fall 2010 - Midterm elections. That’s the way politics works.

Oh I see, so as opposed to being able to hold corporations accountable instantly in many instances, holding politicians comes in 2 to 4 year intervals. Furthermore, if the states gains approval of the majority, then I don’t even have that option as a means to holding them accountable.
Someone want to explain to me again how corporations are held less accountable than the state in our current system? I’m confused.
