      Book Overview

      "Schweizer names guilty parties . . . He exposes powerful figures in politics, law firms, and corporations." -- ForbesWashington is no longer about lawmaking, it's about moneymakingConventional wisdom holds that Washington is broken because outside special interests bribe politicians. The reverse is true: politicians have developed a new set of brass-knuckle legislative tactics designed to extort wealthy industries and donors into forking over big donations -- cash that lawmakers often funnel into the pockets of their friends and family.Inside this best-selling bombshell of a book, Schweizer reveals the exorbitant secret "fees" each political party charges politicians for top committee assignments; how fourteen members of Congress bagged hundreds of thousands of dollars using a little-known self-loan loophole; how politicians use PACs to bankroll lavish lifestyles; and much more. Washington's extortion racket has gone unreported -- until now. This description may be from another edition of this product.

      This book is very disturbing.

      By Becky,

      I read this book several years ago. Actually, I didn’t finish the book because it literally made me sick to my stomach. I’m not usually affected by exposes in this manner, but I think it was the fact that the truths presented in this book made the possibility of ever believing anything a politician says in the future almost impossible, and also made me doubt that voting mattered, or that anything short of Divine intervention...
