Money in politics is a problem for both sides.
Rich people donate to politicians so they can ask for 'favors' down the road. That is why campaigns should be publicly funded. If you want to donate, you donate into a giant pot that allocates the funds evenly.
Don't for a second think that Obama didn't have the same people coming asking him for favors that Bush had coming, or Clinton had coming, or any other President that caters to the rich.
In other news, Bernie Sanders wants to abolish private prisons and help prisoners reform. Can the man have a single bad idea?
