Rich People Versus Politicians

Legalized corruption is widespread and that's the job of 35,000 Washington, D.C., lobbyists earning millions upon millions of dollars. They represent America's big and small corporations, big and small labor unions and even foreign corporations and unions. They are not spending billions of dollars in political contributions to encourage and assist the White House and Congress to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution. They are spending that money in the expectations of favors that will be bestowed upon them at the expense of some other American or group of Americans.

It's legal and it happens in broad daylight every day Congress is in session and at city council meetings across the nation. If you're willing to grease the hands of slimy politicians, you can buy exemptions that are denied to those who cannot or will not play the game. Politicians are conflicted between upholding the Constitution and getting re-elected - the Constitution loses the battle almost every time.
