Bernie Sanders exposes billionaires who are buying US government.
When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators. - P. J. O'Rourke

if they're giving $$$ in secret, how does Bernie know and why is he violating their privacy?

We have banned people for espousing racist views and using racist terminology. I would hope we would afford our homosexual posters the same respect to not be denigrated for their sexual orientation.

They aren't buying the government. Idiot/lazy voters are selling their votes (absurdly, for the opportunity to watch inane and misleading ads), and in doing so giving government to the rich. The 99% definitely gets the government we deserve (in aggregate).

It's amazing how an expensive education can still create such idiot children. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/welldone.gif
Everyone is susceptible to advertising and propaganda, and to think it's just the 'dumb' people displays a special level of stupidity. You think the worlds companies spent north of $450 billion dollars last year on advertising to just hit a small segment of stupid folks? |

Not to mention that for an intelligent person there's a very large distinction between a commercial for a new product highlighting it's awesome features providing some incentive to try it out (reasonable)... and an attack ad convincing you that what you actually heard/read the person said was not what they said at all (completely unreasonable) ... or that it would even matter if it did happen that way. |
It seems to me that the biggest problems with our country's democracy come from gerrymandering, the Electoral College, and excessive lobbyist influence. The idea that people who watch Fox News (or whatever) are being controlled is somewhat backwards IMO--people simply choose to watch things that confirm what they already believe.
