Huge wads of money rule our government. We have accepted it. And, IMO, Citizens United is not going away any time soon. The people who are beneficiaries of the now billions of dollars are not going to give it up. As I suspected, I got emails asking me to help MATCH the Kochs. The politicians and media are rolling around in money, and they love it.
