Cheers for the reply. But yes, I think the system is far more messed up than we think. I am not in the US, but the situation is not always too different here.

Cheers for the reply. But yes, I think the system is far more messed up than we think. I am not in the US, but the situation is not always too different here. In Australia, I believe that the biggest companies can gain favour with unspoken pressure (threats of capital flight, unfavourable advertising, etc) as much as any donations. One politician recently suggested that there are 10 companies which basically dictate terms in this country: four banks, two supermarket giants, three mining giants and a telco.
