By Thom Hartmann A...
Dems must stop the religious hustlers, racists and billionaires from picking Uncle Sam's pocketsThere's a recurring pattern to American politics that began in the 1980s, right after the Supreme Court legalized billionaires owning individual politicians in 1976 with their Buckley decision.
