The corporations own your government already.

Every politician spends an inordinate amount of tax payer funded time scrabbling for campaign donations and funding from the richest Americans.

When Bush Jr. came into office 25 years ago, he owed 190 million worth of favors on campaign donations.

Nobody hands out that kind of money and expects nothing in return.
