I absolutely agree that big business and corporation executives being allowed to assemble and write bills that are invasive to the working people of this country should be looked upon as corrosive to our democratic process, especially if these business and corporation owners and or their lobbyist constituents are allowed to not only help write these bills but to also have an equal vote to the elected officials that have been put in place by the voting people in any given district to represent the wishes of those voting people. I will echo the statement that It does not state ... We the Corporations of the United states,
It says... We The PEOPLE. In fact it speaks volumes about how our government has surely gone astray. and yes I do agree that the politicians in power should not have their own Cadillac hwealth care program nor should these people be allowed to serve in any political capacity for life. It should be considered an honor to serve your country if you are qualified to do so but term limits are a must to preserve the integrity of the offices held,Yes there must always be new blood so to speak with new ideas and genuine desires to serve We The People.Study your history and you will see the ultimate ramifications of these kinds of actions by big government. As it was well put by The historian and moralist, who was otherwise known simply as Lord Acton, expressed his opinion in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887:

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."

I am sure that there are still a few good elected leaders but the good old boy society still exists so lets boot them all out and start fresh. Only then can we begin to clean up the mess that our great nation is in and take it back. So that as the great President Lincoln so eloquently put it int the Gettysburg address,that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
