And if the greed incentive did not exist within the government there is a distinct possibility that these screwed-up things would never happen. Its fertile ground for corruption when we have a "Donor Class" WTF??? Please point to that in The Constitution.

Look how many times Dotard went golfing, (298) at about $3 million in taxpayer $$$, a trip costing $145,000,000, not including rooms, meals and golf cart rental for the secret service.

"Donor class" via the US taxpayer.

I'm referring to BOTH parties taking money from corporate America. We don't have universal healthcare because of the health insurance industrial complex and we have services and agencies that get gutted in the budget due to the HUGE military industrial complex funding. We have become a Corporatocracy and the elections are smoke and mirrors. Both parties are on the take and Democracy cannot actually exist without taking the money out of politics. Citizens United was the final in the coffin and I only hear of a handful of the more Progressive representatives addressing it.

The Myth of U.S. Democracy and the Reality of U.S. Corporatocracy

In the U.S. corporatocracy, as in most modern tyrannies, there are elections, but the reality is that giant corporations and the wealthy elite rule in a way to satisfy their own self-interest. In elections in a corporatocracy, as is the case in elections in all tyrannies, it’s in the interest of the ruling class to maintain the appearance that the people have a say, so more than one candidate is offered up. In the U.S. corporatocracy, it’s in the interest of corporations and the wealthy elite that the winning candidate is beholden to them, so they financially support both Democrats and Republicans. It’s in the interest of corporations and the wealthy elite that there are only two viable parties—this cuts down on bribery costs. And it’s in the interest of these two parties that they are the only parties with a chance of winning.

True, lobbyist work BOTH parties.

BOTH parties work their donors.

Nearly every day, they spend hours on the phone asking supporters and even total strangers for campaign donations -- hours spent away from the jobs they were elected to do. The pressure on candidates to raise money has ratcheted up since the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision in 2010. That allowed unlimited spending by corporations, unions and individuals in elections.

Members are supposed to raise thousands of dollars for their parties. That's their dues. If Republican members don't pay up, they can't use the party's call suites. No photos exist of the inside of either the Democratic or Republican centers. But with the help of a staffer, we were able to get into the Republican center with a hidden camera.

About a dozen tiny offices, equipped with a phone and computer line a corridor. This is where members of Congress sit behind closed doors and plow through lists of donors dialing for dollars. Outside in the main hallway is a big board where the amount each member has raised for the party is posted for all to see and compare.

Note, democrats do the same.
