Here is a perfect example of what is wrong with our political system:

Representatives are elected by the people in their districts. Senators represent their states, as do Governors. Mobs of people and bags of money from OUTSIDE those jurisdictions should NOT be allowed to influence such elections.
The fact they can and do is an indication of how much our alleged "democracy" has degenerated into an oligarchy.
It is therefore no wonder the rich get richer while the poor get poorer:

This ain't about "democracy". It's all about money and power.
