When a friend is addicted to something that is harmful to them

[lexington filly]

83. Seriously? All that arguing over whether

corporations are sending huge stacks of money to Dem (and Repub) politicians through the front door or the back door? Bottom line, the money reaches its designated pocket and most often, gets the desired result. There wasn't and isn't a bigger fan of Obama's than I, but that didn't prevent my eyes from seeing that his biggest corporate donors as I remember, were the banking and finance industries. I didn't see however, any big bank executives on trial for the fraud they committed as they brought us to the brink of Depression and robbed the middle class of their wealth.

As a realist about this subject, Dems are going to continue taking corporate money as long as the Repubs do, and vice versa. Don't believe at all that this can be changed in drips and drabs. We need a great movement to have the public finance all campaigns if we're to remove corporate influence. Amend that last sentence to: corporate ownership of our representatives.
