Forum Post: The Pain-in-the-Ass 99%

If there are a million people who donate $1 each to a politician's election campaign and there is one large Political Action Committee who donates $1 million, guess who is going to gain access to the politician when he gets elected? It defies common sense to think that the one million people are going to be represented more fairly than the $1 million donor. The big single donor will gain easy access to the politician and his voice will be heard loud and clear whereas the million faceless donors will be regarded as incidental background noise. This is how wealthy donors cut to the front of the line and hold sway over our elected representatives who do their bidding. It would defy logic if it were any other way. Both political parties actively seek out donations from well-heeled special interests and they do it 24/7. The voices of the 99% become a cacophony of pain-in-the-ass constituents to elected politicians who understand that money talks and the masses walk. It's that simple and it has to end.
