Yes, a statement could be made about how much money the committee has taken from corporate masters in aggregate. But the committee didn't decide to take corporate money in aggregate. Each corrupt person decides for themselves to allow their policy to be dictated by their corporate masters. I don't believe that there is such a thing as collective guilt. Individuals are ALWAYS responsible. To again quote Heinlein because I don't do that enough This can't be externalized. Individuals make these choices. Individuals need to be held accountable.blame, guilt, responsibility are matters taking place inside human beings singly and nowhere else.
