Just think how far we've come. Once tea partiers fought corporate power. Now they live off it. Once corruption and bribery were the Axis of Evil. Today they're Supreme Court-confirmed law. It's trust-busting that the courts can't stand. In our elections, poor people vote on rich candidates covered by even richer corporate media. Bloated on a diet of billions of dollars of anonymous campaign ads, money media are nothing but happy. What would Tom Paine say? He might say what Zephyr Teachout said. "What our country needs is less corruption and more good old fashioned bribery." At least then we could prosecute the thieves of our democracy.
