FEEDBACK: On dark money

To the editor:

Was it not Mark Twain who said, “We have the best government money can buy”?

After reading your article on dark money, isn’t it nice to know some things do not change in American politics?  When you consider that our congressmen spend about 30 percent of their time raising money for their next campaign rather than the people’s business, it becomes obvious that we have a government by the consultant, for the pollster and of the media propagandist. Is that the way a democracy is supposed to function?
