To accomplish all the other desirable things, first we have to regain command of our political and governmental processes political contributions to officials And being human, we dont think its really so bad if those officials then lean in our direction But none of us wants public officials to be influenced by money from people we disagree with or disapprove of But thats the way it happens Money comes in from all kinds of sources, and it demeans those elected officials it doesnt corrupt.
