Just Because Corruption Is Legal How Do We Justify It? How Should We Stand For It? Allow It?

Watching the go around on CNN this morning I heard the concept of "legal corruption" explained.

This is my take.

The law says it is legal for any economic terrorist to "help" any candidate of their choosing with as much money as they feel necessary to "influence" them. They can buy influence, or threaten a candidate with buying someone else to primary them, or simply fund attacks on them. Said filthy rich folks don't even have to let us know it is them that is buying influence, or paying for the attack ads.

And it is all perfectly legal.

What the F are we to do? It is a lot deeper than just Citizen's United.
