installing their lackies into office should they be arrested and imprissioned for over throwing democracy?
Don't we the people have a right to seize all their personal assets too?

The Constitution says it must be through due process not because you feel like it.

RKO- "some might call it socialism or Communism.." MIGHT CAL IT?? You sir, are a Communist and while it is your right to be one please show my one country in this world were you little plan has worked without having to add a little free market into the system..?
As to the original question, corporations have been funding politicians for hundreds of years, this not something new. We live in a Republic, not a democracy. No we don't not have the right to seize their assets. the government does IF they have done something illegal but when regular folks take other peoples money is called stealing... Keeping your power dry is some good advise though...

Undoubtedly, the corporate world is a convoluted maize of corruption and greed which has infested the U.S. government.
I believe the best thing to do would be to nationalize all corporations that prey on citizens' illnesses, basic needs, and weaknesses. The Federal Reserve Corporation, all pharmaceutical companies, all oil and energy companies, all hospitals and doctors offices, and all attorneys' practices should not be part of the free enterprise system. Their obscene profits at the expense of American citizens could then be minimized. Drugs could be purchased at reasonable prices by those who are indigent. Oil prices could be controlled so that gasoline was priced fairly. Doctors and lawyers would be subjected to "fixed" pricing which even the poorest people could afford.
Some might call this socialism or communism. I call it an end to the merciless gouging of American consumers. It's time the government stepped in and regulated some of these national 'necessities'.
If some rich bastard wants to get gouged by buying a $500,000 yacht, that's his business. But the poor and middle-class hard-working citizens of this country deserve affordable health care, legal counsel, fuel and energy, and food. -RKO- 05/12/07

Back in the 1950's President Eisenhower warned us of the big corporations taking over, no one listened. Corporations that have no love for anything but the love of money and power.
There are really no political parties, only employees of corporations.

Sorry, but corporations have a right to give money to the campaigns of people who's policies are consistent with growing business. You forget that when a business grows, it creates jobs, which helps the average person too.

The Constitution has provisions for the overthrow of the government if it has become corrupted Beyond repair. I hope it doesn't come to this but keep your powder dry.

The administration unfortunately has created so many loopholes in the laws to protect their ill-gained profits.
They destroyed the anti-trust acts to allow Wal-Mart to become the blighting menace it is.
It'll take an act of congress to go after them now.

In theory yes. They just simply have their money so deep into Washington pockets, it will be virtually impossible.
