I keep hearing “your guy is corrupt” when discussing
politics. It seems to go along with the
“your guy is worse than our guy” argument that is very common today. It’s easier to discuss individual corruption
than systemic corruption, so that is what we do. If you look at why almost every politician
can be accused of corruption, it’s because the system allows almost any source
of funds for campaigning.
Pharmaceuticals , Health Insurance, the plaintiffs bar, and the NRA have bought off our politicians. If we are really concerned about “draining
the swamp” we have to pay attention to where our politicians are getting their
money and support. We currently have
three Presidential candidates who are only accepting money from individuals;
Warren, Sanders, and Klobuchar. If
you’re interested in filling the swamp more, vote for someone else.
