Something just dawned on me about corporate expenditures in politics-- [View all]

There is a very interesting monetary feedback loop going on.

The corporations put up billions to elect the politicians of their choice; the politicians use the money to buy M$M ads; a few major corporations, with deeply entangled ownership, own the M$M, so those corporations thus directly recover the expenditures they make to buy the government. Other players, such as small contributors and unions,end up redistributing their funds back to the ownership class.
