Tóm tắt :

Throughout the year, politicians from both parties will deluge Americans with all sorts of promises—that they will lower taxes, cut government waste, deliver affordable prescription drugs, expand access to health care, clean up the environment, prevent corporate crime, transform the military, defend our borders and in general do a better job than the other guy. But there’s one big reason why no one should believe the hype. Is that a Politician in Your Pocket? vivdly illustrates how big money from special interests so dominates politics in Washington that few, if any, of these politicians’ promises will ever come to fruition. Every day, average Americans and consumers shell out more in taxes to prop up a wide variety of industries; the safety of their food, clothing, air, water, children’s health, and travel is compromised, often with deadly results; they pay more for cable TV, peanuts, student loans, prescription drugs, bank ATM fees and airline tickets; and they are more prone to being ripped off by everyone from stock market brokers to used car dealers—all because wealthy special interests buy favors from Congress with campaign contributions._ Despite periodic attention to campaign finance scandals in the press, and a few tomes by investigative reporters and academics that treat the problem of money in politics in dense and technical prose, no one has ever written a basic, layperson’s guide that breaks the issue into manageable, kitchen-table topics and assists the reader with lots of easy-to-read charts and graphs._ Is That a Politician in Your Pocket? is not just a user’s guide to government, it’s a rollicking call to arms. _
