The problem isn't money corrupting politics; it's money-corruptible politicians

15. I think you are wrong

And to prove it, I am gonna offer you a job.

This job pays you $190,000 a year.

And it requires you to disseminate MY opinions, instead of your own ridiculous ones.

When I want your opinion, I will give it to you.

Are you tempted at all? Not even a little?

I think I could probably buy 70% of Americans with such a job.

I am pretty sure even I could be bought for that. I mean, why not? Look at the jobs I have already taken for much less.

I hate war, so my first job was with the DOD.
I think most television is a bunch of crap, so my second job was making satellite dishes.
I hate drunken-ness. So naturally I got a job as a janitor for a sports bar.
For three years I worked making over-priced pudding snacks. Not only that, but I was working for a Phillip Morris owned company. Hello, big tobacco, nice of you to hire me - for $18,000 a year.

And if that is not enough, well people like Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews make multiple million dollars a year.
