Openly Buying Elections

Sometimes voters in America are badly deluded, but more often the wisdom of the American voter is overlooked.

Carly Fiorina, the ex-Hewlett Packard CEO, and Meg Whitman, the overbearing boss at ebay, each spent many millions of dollars of their own money trying to get elected to top political positions. A Governor and a Senator. Thanks to the resounding wisdom of the California voters, both are still out of work.

The California voters also refused to kill off their climate legislation (like the oil companies wanted), and they did not approve the idea of making marijuana fully legal. Bravo Californians!

In many ways elections are indeed subtly bought by wealth in America. But not quite as blatantly and openly as these two arrogant nouveau riche women tried.
