This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

@rbreich sadly true of many democracies including UK. The power of donors to lobby for self interest is self evident from the ultra-processed food on supermarket shelves, to the vaping products children now use and the powers landlords have over their tenants.
