Moreover, the more expensive campaigning becomes, the more money is needed. In the overwhelming number of cases, this money does not come from the average American citizen, but rather from business, from organizations, from individuals with money for whom the contribution is nothing less than an investment with an expected return. To be sure, the politicians profess to care about all their constituents. But no politician has time for everyone. It's always a question of priorities, and money establishes those priorities.
Money gets the individuals into the door.
Money revises legislation. Money restrain the enforcement of laws. Money has a direct impact on the substance of almost every piece of legislation. It is little wonder, the more I think about it, that our citizens are disenchanted with politics and government. This process has corrupted both parties.
