example: you give me money now. I'll help you with your issue later, after the election.
In most any arena its called a payoff and it is not legal.

That is the way things are done in Washington. That's why all of them need to be voted out and start with a fresh batch! Think about it why spend millions to get elected for a 160,000 a year job?

When you pay off or threaten the people who make the laws and the people who enforce the laws, you tend to get away with it if you are powerful enough.
If a politician can take money for favors and still fool people in to voting for him/her, he/she tends to repeat the practice.

Because our elected officials write the laws. They can do anything they want as long as people let them get away with it.

In theory, they can't. In practice, they do it all the time. The problem is the power to end this practice is in the hands of politicians.

Maybe because we haven't been very responsible in exercising our democratic vote, that is, getting involved in issues...

Makes you think what can't money accomplish?
Can money write the news? So much hypocrisy.
