This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

The first month of the Trump regime has been about as bad as I expected. That doesn’t make me some sort of oracle — quite the opposite. It means the threat was damn obvious, and news outlets that failed to clearly warn the public committed gross malpractice.
