When will Wall Street be kicked out of politics?

Isn't it getting a bit ridiculous that Wall Street has too much of an impact in US Government? It seems more and more like Wall Street funds elections to candidates who will be puppets for the continuation of their political agenda. When will enough be enough?

    Sep 21 2012: It isn't only Wall Street. Everywhere in politics, money talks. If I owned an asphalt paving company in any town USA, and I contribute to your campaign for congressman in my district, I'm going to expect that when you sponsor a bill that has road construction as part of it, that if the bill gets passed, and paving gets done, my company is going to get the work.
    It's all very cosy. See Whitewater and the Clintons.
