I am not sure who "him" is in the above quote. If he is referring to our president. Then I would add that not only is congress bought and paid for. So is the president. The occupy movement blames Capitalism. However, in todays common understanding, capitalism is the combination of free market and central governmental planning, which is entirely wrong of course. Nonetheless, the sentiment of the occupy crowd is correct. And understandable. I have enjoyed watching Peter Schiff, a 1%er, engage the occupy crowd, trying to direct their frustration at WashingtonD.C. instead of Wall Street.  

It is over regulated, bloated policies that have created an environment for corruption. The ability of legislative and executive power to grant favors to those willing to pay for them seems to grow increasing worse with time.  I truly believe this is what is at the heart of the occpy movements complaint.
