The Chinese proved that. Johnny Chung said they looked at the clifton White House as a giant vending machine.

Dear patty, you did not know that money buys you more access.

Boy that's funny. If one has money one can buy all kinds of things. Adds in the paper or TV or ones own TV show if you have enough money.

So if we ban all advertising and put some group of comrades together to administer how and what is reported then money will not be able to buy access as long as all the comrades are honest and unbiased.

We also should ban mail and email and political web pages.

Anything else you want to ban so that money cannot buy more access.

Oh we have to ban car, planes and trains and bikes. One should only be able to walk to meet with a politician.

But even walking is not fair to those who are poor and cannot afford a wheel chair.

We should also ban education as a better education can be bought and the more educated people will be more adept at contacting whomever and well it's another case of money buying more access.

What a maroon.

So you admit that more money buys you more access?

Sure that's the American way. What's wrong with that?
