For generations the wealthy, special interests, and corporations have been actively working to subvert the democratic process and influence political decisions that favor them and hurt the country. Is it any surprise we’re here?

How do you get the most benefits from government when you avoid your taxes and celebrate your bottom line versus the country’s? How have we moved to representation without taxation?
