Can we get campaign finance reform or are we just going to ignore the blatant power imbalance of lobbying and political action committees in the political process.
Fair elections shouldn’t be judged based on their dollar amounts, but looky here, that’s what this whole article is about. More money on my side wins, yay! Good thing my great grandparents exploited more people when I was young and I have all the money in the world to manipulate people!
