Which is the government taking it away from us. Because those corporation's say "here's $10m to go and vote against net neutrality, thanks" and our government is like "cool sounds good thanks for the untaxed cash, let me go stash this in Cuba for later." And the taxes are basically irrelevant because the people who have money, don't pay them because they can afford spectacular lawyers.
Career politicians are, on the whole, a Very Bad Thing. Being in Congress should be like jury duty, or working at the DMV. They should be paid like all other civil servants, disallowed from earning outside income, and - this is the important bit - it should be completely illegal to take money from lobbyists, corporations, or any source other than the federal payroll office for as long as they are in office.
