A Web of Influence

“Spending in Minnesota politics may be best described as a web of influence. Nearly all of the state’s top political donors are related to each other in some fashion. Donations between PACs reveal that they are a tightly knit network.” Because government has assumed the power to pick winners and losers in many aspects of life, it shouldn't be surprising that there are those willing to pay to ensure they're among the winners. In other words, it's not money that corrupts politics; it is politics that corrupts money.
