Define who are the "special interest" groups. It always depends on whose ox is being gored.

At every level government is corrupt. No real desire to serve the people just to serve their own best interests. No regard for the misuse of taxpayers dollars. No regard for actually performing their jobs. The system some claim needs to be spread around the world is a miserable failure.
No need to look any further than Washington where all are bought and paid for. Albany, where party leaders are found guilty of felonies and then apply for their lifetime taxpayer funded pensions. To the county government that can't function without a permanent, never ending increase in a budget filled with abuse, misuse and fraud. Down to local towns where special interests pay to get their way while the taxpayers foot the bill. Citizens United just allows the legal influence of money to buy the politicians rather than doing it under the table.
