take note of the most recent budget bill, with tucked in amendments to remove some regulations on banks regarding trades. and of course the additional language that raised the amount of money that can be 'donated' to a campaign by tenfold.
it's not even a secret anymore, that companies that are supposedly to be regulated are the ones actually writing the regs.
the money has got to stop flowing from large corporations to 'our' politicians.
i don't even know that jack abramoff would be arrested today. congress has been sold to the highest bidders.
where does that leave all of us, who can't afford to hire lobbyists?
