Ok, I just burst out laughing at work. Probably because I could really see them doing something like that.

Thanks for posting!

Spy correspondent Julius Lowenthal wanted to know just how cheap some of the city’s richest figures were. So he set up a company, called the National Refund Clearinghouse, and sent letters with checks for $1.11 enclosed, “for services that you were overcharged for.” The letters went out to 58 “well-known, well-heeled Americans,” 26 of whom promptly cashed them. Curious as to how low they might go, Lowenthal sent those 26 “nabobs” a second refund check, for $0.64. This time, 13 people cashed them.

Finally, he sent those 13 respondents a check for $0.13. This time, only two people cashed the check. One was an arms dealer. The other was Donald Trump, whom the magazine identified as a “demibillionaire casino operator and adulturer.”

truly start listening to the people, listen to issues accurately stated, all w/o dark money interference. After all, I feel that for example, the Koch money is interfering w/ my first amendment right to hear those voices that need to be heard, but instead, because of all of the dark money out there, oftentimes the true message gets drowned out/swamped, and the American people don't hear the true ramifications of all sides on an issue.

It's really sad, the above stats. That's why we need true representation of the people, by the people, for the people because this in truth, isn't happening.
