I like what FDR advised us
"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group or any controlling private power." - - Franklin D. Roosevelt

Corporate CEOs are ruining our country.

1. Yup
TR said much the same thing. Kevin Phillips' Wealth and Democracy lays it out plainly.

3. That is absolutely right
A group of people in my county (a group called CPR-Citizens for Political Reform) met yesterday. This very point was brought up. Thanks for posting it!
