Seriously though I think that there are decent people and decent ideas on both sides. I'm not quite as disillusioned as you I guess and I don't think that big business runs everything or calls all the shots. They definitely have a lot of pull, but they can also do an enormous amount of good.
Don't get me wrong. I agree that big business can and DOES do a lot of good.

But if you allow them to lobby your government like crazy, and you hire a bunch of lobbyists to serve in your administration, along with constantly rotating Wall Street execs in and out of a variety of cabinet roles, at some point it'll become a problem.
