I think this sums up the problem with American politics nicely

joshuatopolsky:

David Carr, writing about SOPA:

Maplight, a site that researches the influence of money in politics, reported that the 32 sponsors of the legislation received four times as much in contributions from the entertainment industry as they did from software and Internet companies.

Good to be reminded that most of our politicians are nothing more than puppets for private companies whose only mandate is to make more money for themselves.

Parece ser un problema recurrente en muchas democracias. Los representantes cuidan los intereses económicos de compañías en lugar de los interés de la gente que los eligió en primer lugar.
