corporate or citizen economy??

A recent report from the Government Accountability Office found that 2/3s of corporations operating in the US did NOT pay taxes annually from 1998 to 2005, this includes 28% of the "large" corporations.

The measures of our economy are focused on Wallstreet and these corporate cheats, NOT as RFK said in 1968, "that which makes life worhtwhile".

Rather than which candidate has a better plan for the "economy", can either really stand up for the average citizen? Will they take power away from the corporations which finance their party?
