Big money is ruining the political system.

Summary

This quote suggests that the influence of wealth and financial resources has a detrimental effect on the political system. It implies that powerful individuals or corporations with significant financial resources are able to manipulate or control the political processes to serve their own interests rather than those of the wider population. This can undermine the principles of democracy, as decisions and policies may be influenced by financial contributions or lobbying efforts rather than the needs and concerns of the people. The quote ultimately critiques the undue financial influence in shaping the political landscape.
