and the creation of anonymous contributions to super-pacs, who knows what corrupt organizations are bribing our public officials?

The political system of the United States of America is as corrupt as the day is long.

I don't think the Founders intended for this to happen.

I always had this thought: what if the mafia took over a political party? Think about it - what a way to hide in plain sight. Let's say for example: what if the Repug party was controlled by the mafia? How would it function? How would it exert its pressure on the people. How would the corporations fit in with it?

the Saudi Arabian dictatorship? Chinese manufacturers? Weapons manufacturers (aka MIC)?
