The whole "being in the center" just means inaction which translates to just let the corporate America get away with anything as long as they bribe our politician.

False. We have centrist party's here who have enacted some substantial changes and continue to fight big business.
Then again, America's political landscape and alignments are substantially different from ours. Our Liberal party for instance is considered Conservative.

Fun Fact: This guy is a democrat, but im pretty darn sure if i ask a so called conservative anywhere about specific issues, the would probably be to the left of this guy but still, they would associate him as a left wing politician based solely on his party. This is no about policy is about playing for a team.

Indeed. You can be right-wing in a left-wing party and vice versa.
For example... The Australian Labor Party is a left-wing political party... Yet had politicians like Mark Latham who is extremely right wing, religious, anti-homosexual, anti-immigration and so on.

I was referring obviously to the USA's political landscape where, in case your are not aware of there are only 2 choices: a center-right party (with left views only on social issues) and a far-right party (small government on economic issues but goes big brother on social issues).
Of course, as the reasonable person that i think i am, i do favor the free market... when it makes sense of course, and im pretty sure even the most hardcore right wing out there do like the big government when it comes to education, the military, health (when explained properly), etc.
