About This Quote

The idea that someone else’s mind is not their own is a disturbing one. This is especially true in politics, where the corrupting power of money and the dark side of human nature have created a system that allows for anyone to be bought off. If there were no rules about how much money you could give to who, everyone would be out buying votes, and then elections would be meaningless.
