Democracy for Dollars





Bill Moyers Essay: Democracy for Dollars

February 15, 2013

“The House of Representatives, where Congress gathers to hear the president, used to be known as

‘The Peoples’ House’,” Bill says in this broadcast essay, “but money power owns the lease now, and runs the joint from hidden back rooms.”

Bill spotlights Congressional leaders from both parties whose connections and possible allegiances to deep-pocketed backers makes one wonder who’s really running our government, and buying our democracy.
