Oak, I thought you are old enough to know by now that we have the best Congress that money can buy. For sure, most if not all of the members of both houses are bought and paid for, corporate money sees to that.
Sang does have a point. If I write a letter to my senators and congressperson, it's a question if the letter will even be read by the honorable people involved. If Exxon, for example, writes/phones/emails/texts these same august individuals, the corporation will get a much more enthusiastic response. I can't buy senators and congresspersons like Exxon can-- it's that simple. I'm just a "common person", Exxon is a "Corporate Person".
OK, here's an example to make it easy. I get into the ring to fight against the Incredible Hulk. Place your money, who do you think is gonna win?
My letter is going up against Exxon's lobbyist. Who do you think is gonna win?
