Is Government Corruption America's Biggest Problem? [View all]

I think every single problem our nation faces is a direct result of our pay to play government. From war profiteering, to tax havens, and climate change denial. In my opinion it is also getting worse. Much worse, fast. We already knew about the tax havens and neither party is saying a word about the tax avoiders. How long before we are all on cat food?
