Unless billion dollar corporations are run by idiots, they get something in return for the tens of millions of dollars they pay politicians. I’m not talking about campaign money. This is personal money, income that politicians have earned, and it goes into their bank accounts. As far as I know, we now have candidates who have legally earned tens of millions of dollars by giving pointless talks (I assume) to corporate leaders. We’re well into a brave new world of perfectly legal graft.
(Note: If you write the right sort of book, corporations can make you rich. They will buy many thousands of copies to give to their employees, just to help you out. (You can be number one on the NY Times book list—with an asterisk to show you are cheating. Take a close look at that list.)
