The conspiratorial response would be, "If they were such a big deal in the first place, we wouldn't even know their names!" But on a more serious note, I'd like to see the people who claim they hold so much sway present their evidence. How does it compare to CitiGroup and other banking interests, Boeing and other "defence" interests, the medical conglomerates, etc? Feel free to poke around.
Obviously big companies have influence as well as some wealthy individuals. Areas like defence and oil are bound to involve corruption. So much for 'drain the swamp' :(
