    This is about corporate money, not policy. They guy refused corporate funding. So now you’re talking about a new generation of politician that can’t be bought. Is it any mystery that a person earns millions as a senator or house member?

    Senators only make 174k. I say only because they all end up millionaires. How does that add up?

    They want to keep getting paid, this guy throws a wrench into that system.

      If you refuse corporate money, your policies will stop being corporate policies (otherwise there is no point in not taking the money). This is also why the billionaires and their prostitutes in the political sphere are so scared.

      Principally someone who makes 174k can definitely safe up enough money to become a millionaire over a period of for instance 20 years.
