I have a friend who several years ago was teaching a college course on the American political system in China. While explaining to them the American system of lobbyists the class broke out into laughter. When he asked why, the answer was, "it's legalized bribery." And after Citizens United, it's legalized bribery on steroids. Reminds me of this note: "This is the law, and the law shall run till the stars in their courses are still; that whosoever eateth another's bread shall do that other's will."
