  1. Money in politics is only an issue because the federal government has power. What is going on with the democratic party being corrupt is exactly want the founding fathers wanted to avoid. That is why they created a system where there were supposed to be strict limitations on the federal government. This is exactly what the democrats created, and now they are falling apart.

  2. +Jabberwock5 It makes perfect sense. The founding fathers saw a desire to have government, but they also saw that people need to be able to control it. The system was set up to give states the freedom and flexibility to evolve and create domestic laws that suit the needs and wants of the people. Every layer of government had limitations as listed in the constitution, but states were allowed to evolve. The more local government is the greater the ability the citizens have to see if they are getting their money's worth. Also the citizens can ensure that the government remains the servants and not the masters. The federal government was very limited in domestic policies. Individual federal income taxes were unconstitutional until 1913. Briefly, the federal government was supposed to deal with foreign affairs and enforce the constitution on the states. The states were to deal with foreign affairs and enforce the constitution on the fed. It was a checks and balance system. Programs like the EPA, Department of Ed., the FDA, individual income taxes, corporate income taxes, business regulations, Obamacare and so on were not supposed to exist at the federal level. But they do and they are programs pushed mainly by the political left (democrats). Those programs can exist at the state and local level where the citizens have more control of the government, but never the federal. That is why we have corruption. The federal government has power and thus it can be bought. There is a desire to have government, but too much government is just as bad as no government. I do agree that republicans are corrupt as well, but they are not nearly as bad as democrats. Republicans also are not pushing for federal expansion as much as democrats are. As a whole the design was to have government but strict limitations on it.

  3. +Simon Sloterdijck It isn't about money in politics, it is about free shit. Kyle wants the federal government to give you all this free shit but doesn't expect it to become corrupt in anyway. It is like the movie Casino where people in Vegas were skimming off more then their share and the boys in the midwest were not happy. You ask the federal government to give you free shit they are going to take advantage of it and take large amounts of money on the side.
