Grifting was never heard of or allowed?

People have been paying off government officials for favorable legislation practically since the country began. Government officials have been profiting from inside information, payoffs and kickbacks the entire time.

That’s the very nature of this system we live under. There are very, very few people of honor in that game.

All these current people are doing is what has always been done, they’re just doing it openly and shamelessly.

Our problems run much deeper than citizens united, the entire system is designed to do what it’s doing.
