Companies including Bank of America Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC) have contributed $20 million toward the cost of the Democratic National Convention, helping fund an event that Democrats initially said wouldn’t accept corporate money, according to two people familiar with the matter.
You seem surprised that politicians would lie.
Who said they would lie?
Democrats said they "wouldn't accept corporate money" yet Bank of America and Wells Fargo have contributed. Someone has either lied or their position has done some serious evolving.
What? I'm skeptical. When and where did they say that?

If you pay Federal Taxes, you are also paying for BOTH conventions.
So- you are disgusted that political parties take corporate contributions
