There is always a tremendous pay out to anyone who does the Corporate Overlords' bidding.

Look at how Bill Clinton made off with the ability to charge some $ 125,000 or more per speech. All he had to do to get that promise of speech royalties was to sign off on the Banking "Modernization" Act, and then let Glass Steagall protections fall by the wayside. he may say he feels our pain, now that the Glass Steagall protections are gone and the housing bubble imploded, hurting so many people, is he out there helping people re fi? And now Chelsea, a hedge fund manager through her mommy and daddy's connections, is being groomed to occupy office as yet another "caring Dem."

None in the political class cares one bit about their actions. They don't even care if they win or lose elections. People think Romney cares about his losing - why should he? The money inside SuperPacs is basically beyond the ability of any mere mortal to audit. He is probably ten million to a quarter billion bucks richer for having run for office and lost.
