If the government owns all the companies... It's a little hard for a company to buy a politician.Corporations will always have some sway in our government... It's the nature of capitalism, but this is too much.
This isn't the nature of Capitalism. This is the nature of Politics.
"When buying and selling are legislated, the first thing to be bought and sold and legislators"
-- P.J. O'Rourke
Oh, if it's deemed illegal, you can bet your ass I can.We can't blame business people for buying politicians.
That too. But I gave what I think the first step should be.We have to blame ourselves for electing politicians that require business to buy them in order to stay in business.
The first step is to remove the state from the business of business.
Politicians can't sell influence if they have no influence to sell.
