Quote:“Powerful corporations (and) rich people have figured out that if you can bend the government to help you just a little bit, it’s a tremendous payoff,” the senator said, “and if you can bend it to help you just a little bit more and a little bit more, the playing field just gets more and more tilted, and the rich and the powerful just do better and better.”
The rumored 2016 presidential candidate said their influence went far beyond campaign donations.
“They’ve invested in Washington in a million other ways,” Warren said. “The lobbyists are there every day, every meeting that occurs. They’re there in the regulatory agencies, they’re all over the town to make sure that the tender fannies of the rich and the powerful are always carefully protected — in every rule that’s written, every conversation, in every discussion.”
