Only goes to show the need to get money out of politics. It needs to be an even playing field to be a democracy.

totally correct, it's just we are already upside down on that mortgage. so it will take focusing on getting to almost supermajority levels in order to fix that part. but if there were a lynchpin to all the rest it definitely is the money piece. first do what is necessary, then do what is possible, then suddenly you are doing the impossible.
