It's the conventional wisdom, but it's just not true. The interests with pull are the interests with pull whether they put up money or not. Get rid of the money somehow and they still have their influence and nothing will really change.

The newly elected governor of Pa. received nearly $900,000 from the natural gas drilling interests while the losing candidate received about $90,000. Pennsylvania is now the only state where the gas drillers pay no tax. Zero. The new gov just slashed education funding in his new budget. What`s wrong with this picture?
