A new all time low for partisan politics

Our government is no longer for the people and it should be a concern. The below bill was sponsored by BOTH Gangs so it is not a partisan issue. The whole ****ing process is out of control and they are too arrogant to even try and conceal it anymore.

it's becoming a more common practice.
health lobbyists, banks and financial institutions, koch industries, oil companies.....
take note of the most recent budget bill, with tucked in amendments to remove some regulations on banks regarding trades. and of course the additional language that raised the amount of money that can be 'donated' to a campaign by tenfold.
it's not even a secret anymore, that companies that are supposedly to be regulated are the ones actually writing the regs.
the money has got to stop flowing from large corporations to 'our' politicians.
i don't even know that jack abramoff would be arrested today. congress has been sold to the highest bidders.
where does that leave all of us, who can't afford to hire lobbyists?

Unfortunately those that can "Stop" this are the one's that are profiting from it.
