Yes, there's absolutely a connection.
The only thing to really wonder in cases like this is which way the power runs. Sometimes it looks like corporations bribing politicians. Sometimes corporations feel like they have to pay because "everybody else does it." Sometimes the politicians basically go around soliciting the money.
So long as a handful of politicians make so important decisions that affects millions or billions of dollars, there will be tremendous incentive to affect their decisions, and tremendous opportunity for selling of votes. |
