In underdeveloped countries bribing is illegal yet it is rampant and as a consequence, politicians are bought by rich individuals to make favorable decisions to benefit them in large scale projects.

With the legalization of superpacs and Citizen's united, the United States government has essentially legalized bribery where rich individuals owning corporations can inject unlimited amount of money to change the result of elections and subsequently the policies made by the influenced politicians.

This legalization of bribery is obviously in the interest of billionaires to further their greed of making more and more money by paying off politicians to look after their interests more than the general population's.

In the US, there are five major industries that determine the socio-economics of the country and coincidentally are the major contributors in influencing the elections. Firstly the financial institutions that control the value of your investments. Secondly the military industrial complex that profits by endless wars. Thirdly the pharmaceutical industry that controls the quality and price of the medicines you take. Fourthly the fossil fuel industry that determine the health of the ecosystem of planet earth. And lastly the prison industrial complex that has put it's profit margin above the people's rights to live a life free of unnecessary incarcerations.

Now with the legalization of bribing by these major industries, it is becoming more and more hopeless for a common person to hope that majority of socio-politic economic decisions will be in their favor.

The reason more underdeveloped countries stay that way or even descend in a neverending downward spiral is due to the viscious cycle of bribing and politicians being influenced to make socially unfavorable decisions. The legalization of bribing has undermined democracy and the future of the citizens of the United States.

This is the reason why Bernie Sanders has seemingly risen above the establishment that has legalized bribing. It is surprising that many citizens have not realized that the established government will perpetuate endless wars, limit their chance of making a good living, increase their incarcerations, subject them to substandard food and medicine and decrease the quality of the ecosystem that we live in - in order to pay for the legal bribe they took in the form of campaign contributions.

It seriously does not make any sense to vote for a candidate who takes hundreds of millions dollars of these campaign contributions. It is high time people wake up and say enough is enough!
