It's even worse than that here now. Due to superpaks and corporate money the politicians now are concerned about who they get money from for campaigns too. It's really a quite sad state of affairs here - the large corporations end up controlling things. It's like we're reliving the 1920's here.

Or perhaps that's only true of the crowd you don't vote for. In which case this is just another junk science argument to justify entrenched bias. ;-)
