Every major politician in the USA has major financial backers with their own agendas that they purchase through superPAC contributions and by funding re-election campaigns. It's been the ruling oligarchy my whole life and I'm middle aged. Pretending it's different or worse now is disingenuous.

It is worse now, at least the legal money side.

Citizens United removed the limits on the international money as well as the domestic money.

Why is the countey tearing itself apart? Because the foreign money has interest in weakening, stealing, amd profiteering from the USA.

Conversely, the domestic money wants to keep the domestic part from falling completely apart; at least until the real estate, votes, and grant money for the revitalization project are all lined up.
