How "The System" Operates

1) Candidate solicits immense sums of money from special interests

2) Candidate promises [fill in the blank] to gain support of different voting blocks

3) Candidate wins, reneges on promises, legislates in favor of financial backers

4) Repeat until revolution

2012: A Case in Point

1) Obama receives $28 million from lawyers and financiers

2) Obama sees OWS, promises student loan fix with $4 - $8 value per student

( http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2011/10/obamas-student-loan-action-wont-have-much-impact/247411/ )

3) Obama gets reelected, serves financial and legal donors

Can OWS be Bought ?

Will the people of OWS reelect Obama in exchange for a $4 - 8 benefit ?
