A lot of people complain about money in politics. However, few seem to notice how they contribute to the problem. Sure, some people and corporations donate large sums to political campaigns, but have you ever thought of why? They want influence. But how does the government get influence?

As Alexis de Tocqueville said: “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” So how do you feel, now that you’ve been bribed with your own money? And what happens to freedom and liberty in America when the people are controlled by governments, rather than their masters? The answer is, nothing good.
