Ya Gotta Pay to Play – Money and Private Interests vs. American Democracy

May 18, 2013 in Politics | Tags: Bill Moyers, Dark Money, Democracy, Governemnt, Influence Peddling, Washington Politics | by The Arbourist | Comments closed

What is democracy about these days? Looking to the North American model to the south of Canada, one begins to worry that idea of responsible, accountable government is a sadly antiquated notion. Bill Moyers and his guests detail what is happening in Washington. Revolving doors, “dark” money, influence peddling – a veritable laundry list of bad ethical practice is the norm, and the public good is but a memory.

Take the time, gain some insight and arm yourself with the knowledge of what is happening in what was once a great democratic nation.
