I don't understand the concept of businesses buying off states. I thought government was supposed to be more powerful than corporations.

We're well on the way to being the United Corporations of America.

The solution is easy and simple. Stop taxing corporations and then make it illegal for them to get involved with any elected official. Don't take taxes from them and don't take contributions from them. They would then be out of the equation.
