money in politics quotes

Money has always been in politics. And I’m not sure you’d want money to be completely out of politics.

I’ve never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a ‚fat cat‘ and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a ‚public-spirited philanthropist‘.

I think members of the legislature, people who have to run for office, know the connection between money and influence on what laws get passed.

If there was one decision I would overrule, it would be ‚Citizens United.‘ I think the notion that we have all the democracy that money can buy strays so far from what our democracy is supposed to be.

Our only real hope for democracy is that we get the money out of politics entirely and establish a system of publicly funded elections.
