Happens every day, anyone who thinks otherwise is blind or just plain dumb. Politicians may be paid by the taxpayer, but it is usually money from the large corporations that helps them win the elections to get there. For this, they (the corporations) get to levy their opinion on policy. Its a vicious cycle that happens all over the US.

You are a 'sheeple'...they have spoon fed you so much that you now accept it as normal.
Lets define sheeple: People who unquestioningly accept as true whatever their political leaders say or who adopt popular opinion as their own without scrutiny
Thats about as far the other side of what I posted as you can get. Its not 'popular opinion' that corporations fund political campaigns for their own benefit, its fact. Be it through employee PAC's or other methods. Its not hard for a corporation to tell their employees 'We cant tell you to give to this PAC, but it would greatly benefit us, thus your job in general, to do so.'
But from what I hear around the forums about you, why would I expect you to know how the world really works.
