If you had paid one ounce of attention to what the Republican party was doing with ADM and monsanto in the 60s and 70s, you would have seen real open corruption.

Is this bad? yes.
Were they open about it? yes.

But what they did to give Big money power to squash small farms through the power of government back then was an order of magnitude worse, and party faithful looked the other way.

Good grief, I'm in my early 40's. I was paying attention to "The 6 Million Dollar Man" and KISS in the 1970's.
