Sounds like an interesting watch, i'll add it to my list.

But by reading your article this just highlights a problem not only present in the United States but throughout the world, money and politics don't get along. You just won't be able to defend your constituents when corporations and criminals are bribing you.

There's a huge need to get money out of politics, when a politician gets financed by a big bank and there's financial troubles, who do you think he will blame? who do you think he will prosecute? attack? the bank that financed him? the company that financed him? no, he will go for the competitor and the smaller the better, because its easier to crush a small business or bank like the one featured in this documentary.

It's sad that there's no easy solution for this, if you make it illegal for public servants to take private money, then they will have to find other ways to fund their campaigns, probably illegal too. There are proponents of making political campaigns funded by the government but that will also anger the tax payers and gives way too much power to the government, who gets the money and who doesn't? It's just too easy to corrupt.

I bet there's someone out there with a blockchain idea to help solve the problem of money in politics, can we make politicians more transparent and accountable if it is required that every campaign fund they get is recorded and audited on a blockchain?
