Tell me a country, where it doesn't work that way
Companies are buying politicians everywhere to get their way - and if an individual has the money as a large company, it's practically the same
I just don't get, how we equate having money somehow with kind of moral integrity - read: law abiding
Because you can't get that kind of money, while still be morally integer or law abiding...
The world is just fucked in that way, and we need to unfuck it.
I will say this: in the US at least, people work for health care coverage - that's often garbage but good luck affording even shitty coverage without being beholden to your employer. They stay employed to avoid homelessness.
The ones setting policy like it that way, it makes it far easier to own people and get them to follow instructions they know are immoral.
