This is the part I hate the most about this. It’s one thing that we have this “squint a little and you’ll see it” kind of graft and corruption. It’s another entirely that the going rate for sending us all down the river is appallingly low. Especially since the kind of money a corporation can make for a favorable legal change could be a thousand times that, or more.
Don’t be so pessimistic! It really adds up if you do it enough!
Plus, the cushy job after leaving office is the real prize. Why don’t you just go ask John Boehner? Motherfucker spent a several decade career demonizing cannabis, blocking its decriminalization and putting hundreds of thousands of people in prison for it. He was the third second(? do you count the president?) person in line of presidential succession for at least a decade (think about that). Now he works at a pro-cannabis legalization lobby group (at least as of the last time I looked. Not going to google that piece of shit right now).
Republicans have no morals or ethics. They have no values to stand by.
The fact that they concede that they can’t stop themselves from raping and murdering folks without some kind of threat of cosmic torture is a pretty big self-report.

The reason corporations buy politicians is because they’re cheap.
