Election corruption

As long as we require politicians to finance their campaigns by soliciting voluntary contributions, we are supporting a system in which every single elected official owes more to the money men than to his electorate,  We absolutely know that the elected politician owes a debt to the contributor.  How could we possibly think that they can vote independently from their debts?  Yer we allow it, while self-righteously condemning the corruption and bias in public office, as if we didn't know what was going on.  We  are exactly as corrupt as they are.  Unless and until we are willing to stop this practice we cannot expect to have politicians in office who can genuinely vote on the issues in an unbiased way.

So let's stop complaining about corruption in a system we have complacently allowed to become corrupted right in front of our eyes.   We allowed it.  We need to stop it.  We cannot expect it to be a better system until we ourselves change what we are allowing to happen.
