It's mainly Democrats according to those venn diagrams. In fact, I think I only noticed one Republican.

Regardless, there are plenty of Republicans involved in this crap as well. It's not OK no matter what party they're in.

So your solution to this problem is to vote Republican? Good luck with that.

My solution to the problem ideally would be to vote out all the incumbents regardless of party.

A less dramatic solution would be to ban lobbying.

I feel very strongly that there should be no corporate tax loopholes (rates should be lowered dramatically for everyone though) or corporate welfare. All businesses - including small businesses - need to be on an even playing field to allow the free market to work its magic.

Both sides are guilty, very guilty. But the media does cover for Democrats more than Repug's....

Solution is to remove $$$ from politics and remove lobbying
