If you want something more substantial, I suggest you follow the money and examine the workings of the "old boys' club" which focuses power in the hands of very few individuals.

Bottom line, only those elected to the office cast the vote, or sign the bills to make law. The money is just the influence.
No More Mr. Smith goes to Washington do do the right thing. Now it is all about the politicians gaining power and prestige and most important, get reelected. The needs of the country and doing the right thing is not important. Making the other party look bad, and frustrate the other party is all that gets done.
