I don't have a problem with money being involved in politics. That's not the problem. The problem is to what extent. Campaigns, rally's, poster's, appearances, hotels, teams, etc. That cost money. I get that aspect of it. However.

The problem is when politicians are bought out by the plutocracy and then they get laws and favors passed in Congress to make their lives easier. A good recent example of this is the disaster that happened in Palestine, OH with the train derailment. People with money were able to keep pushing back, and pushing back and pushing back. Now we have an entire town [BLEEP] for years to come. When their were plenty of advocates calling for being technology, equipment and safety practices to be implemented to help curtail or avoid this disaster.

You just saw Philadelphia being told to stock up on bottled water due to a spill of latex chemicals from a plant ending up in the Delaware River. 1.5M people told they'll be S.O.L with tap water in their city and neighboring areas because of this spill as of Monday night. It's commonplace. Just like the banks being bailed out in 2008. Just like the nonsense you're seeing in California with that bank that had a politician clearly lobbying for it to be bailed out after he was tied to it already.
