Can Politicians Be Bought?

Beyond the taboo of discussing politics with your crazy uncle during family gatherings, I seek to discuss American government and public policy from scholarly perspective, but broken down so that anyone can digest it. I find that we get frustrated with government because we don't perceive it to "do what the people want", which is partially true. However, I think most of this frustration comes from misconceptions stemming from not fully understanding how government and public policy works.
