14. What does DADT cost the top 5% income elites? That's why this victory was allowed

I've heard a guest maybe on Thom Haartman's Show, advance the theory that our politicians fight over "social causes" for and against, but are united in their obedience to the individuals and corporate economic elites that make up the top 1-5% of the wealthiest "Americans" (in quotes for those corporations that have mail-drop Corporate Headquarters offshore and factories in China).

If Obama seriously challenged those individuals and corporations to benefit poor and average American citizens, then he would be bringing "Change" that I could believe in.
