and that side is supposed to stand up to the "pro-business" side. Rotten system, we have. say they are 500 important elections every couple of years.

500 * $5000 each = $2,500,000. Let's quadruple the amount to $10m to allow giving more to a person or for staff to handle that. That means that every state AG, Governor, Senator, Congressman etc etc can get money from hundreds of US companies and the companies would not have to switch to generic cola to afford it. What's $10 million a year to MSFT, AAPL, Google, Facebook etc???

Yea, I think most silicon valley employees would be shocked if they found how many members of the House and Senate had been 100 ft away in a secretish meeting at their company.

Also to put this in perspective, these secretish meetings occur at every important financial sector of commerce. We have a real corruption problem in our government.
