How Money Has Bought Democracy

Please read and share:http://stupidpartymathvmyth.com/1/post/2016/10/money-bought-democracy.html

"Companies are regulated for a multitude of overwhelmingly important reasons. For capitalism to work, consumers must have faith in the product or service. When you hand over your cash to a bank, you must be comfortable that it’s safe. The same regarding safety of everything from water to gas, from meat to vegetables. A capitalist system cannot work without regulations and oversight. The 2008 economic meltdown occurred as a consequence of unfettered capitalism.

Why did the scorpion sting the frog it was riding on as it was crossing the river? Because that is its nature. Therefore, companies must try and game the system. If they do not, their competitor will. How best to game the system? Get real close and personal with lawmakers. Money talks, money corrupts, and thus we can begin to see the endgame."
