Having just read Jane Mayer's 2016 book Dark Money, this article does not surprise me at all. The dark money of billionaires has infiltrated, like the tentacles of an octupus, every corner of America, in their so-far completely successful attempts to change public opinion, laws, philosophies, freedoms of choice, you name it. Betsey Prince DeVos already admitted to this years ago. Others of her ilk and societal levels have done more damage to America than anyone can comprehend. The 2010 Supreme Court decision, Citizens United, removed 100-year old constraints on campaign finance, opening the doors to unlimited spending, overty and covertly, brushing up against remaining few laws. The influence of the far right extends everywhere their money is accepted, which is everywhere, from Congress and the SC, through the WH on down to whatever field you might have interest in. The U.S. of Corporate America needs a new flag. One with a crooked dollar sign on it, landing in the palms of elected and appointed officials. Too bad too. This experiment in self rule, not without its problems from the beginning, was the most successful of all mankinds' many attempts to live under semblance of law, order, and civility. That is all gone now, and I do not know how to get it back.
