and here is your guy Sanders by the way:
Bernie Sanders (I-VT) U.S. Senate | MapLight - Money and Politics
"Total Campaign Contributions Received by Bernie Sanders: $90,133,362"

I wonder if he ever votes in favor of the interest groups that support him...
Of course they all take money, it's the only way they can get elected in our current system. Even Trump took money and look how rich he claims he is.

However look at Sander's as an example and you don't see a list of companies that are trying to take away our rights..

Likely the worst on his list is Boeing and Boeing gives money to every single congressman that is elected. The only other corporations are Apple, Amazon, Microsoft & Google.. even with those companies on his list he didn't vote in favor of this.
