It's big money multi-national corporate...


...PAC influence that has corrupted the USA Congress.
To just blame "the government" is narrow, simplistic, and short sighted.

It takes big money to get into office and they are beholden at that point.

Let's get to the source.
Publicly funding elections and ending "corporate personhood" would be a vast improvement.

1. Good points.
The "government" is not only a corporation, but almost all elected officials represent interests of the PACs, etc.
