He exposes powerful figures in politics, law firms, and corporations. - ForbesWashington is no longer about lawmaking, its 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. Washingtons extortion racket has gone unreported - until now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972101144864,"sku":"NEW0544334558","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/710LjNP-5aL.jpg?v=1783792237","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/extortion-how-politicians-extract-your-money-buy-votes-and-line-their-own-pockets-0544334558","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
