What's wrong with America?

From the Washington Post:

The financial reports begin to document the underpinnings of a drive for dollars that is expected to make 2008 the nation's first billion-dollar presidential campaign. Top-tier candidates are hard at work courting wealthy political enthusiasts who can deliver scores of thousand-dollar donors.

That's where it begins. That's the key. That's why our government fails to represent the best interests of most Americans, most people, or the world. Government of, by, and for the special interests. The only way we will ever take our government back is to take money out of political campaigns.
