Does it Matter?

Campaign finance along with the revolving door of gov job to corp job are the two main areas I see where the influence is pernicious. Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders were/are the only two to recognize it as a problem. Unfortunately we'd need to boot the corporate boot-lickers from Congress for the next couple cycles to get anything done. It is a difficult play in a country that has lost its belief in democratic process and has two completely corrupted parties. We do need to try.

Rand Paul, early in his last campaign, was following his fathers line pretty closely. Then he was called to Washington for a private meeting on K street. When he returned to the campaign he changed his priorities and his war chest swelled considerably. Sounds like he's now speaking from experience.
