Mo Brooks Openly ADMITS Money Runs Congress - YouTube
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL-5) Congress is unresponsive to ordinary people because special-interest groups run DC, not metaphorically but literally.
In the House, if you want to be head of a major committee, like Ways and Means, you have to buy the position, with $1M. The most expensive committees are those that the special-interest groups care the most about.
One has to get such money from the special-interest groups, because ordinary people don't have enough, and these groups want some quid pro quo, something in return.
MB noted that there exists a brochure with how much one must pay to get each leadership position.
Cenk Uygur claimed that both Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell have raised $1B each.
Ana Kasparian looked at MB's campaign contributors: lobbies like the Club for Growth and military contractors.
CY asked why MB is now so open about corruption - he is slipping in the polls in his race for the Senate, and he wants to present himself as someone who wants to drain the swamp of DC corruption -- even after being one of the swamp monsters.
CY then described how Richard Neal, head of the Ways & Means Committee, shamelessly takes big corporate money, and how he, a Democrat, is as bad as many Republicans in that regard.
The "special interests"? Big businesses trying to buy favors.
