Our democracy is run by the recipients of government wealth redistribution, because that's how our politicians are buying their votes, not with campaign funding.
Then why is there so much money in campaign funding?
Why are the people who are actually making the policy decisions rich?
Are the poor people the ones who are putting these candidates on the ballots thereby giving us the illusion that we are 'choosing'?
