Two points to illustrate this: 1) Look at all the corporate money that is spent in elections, to not only get a politician elected, but also to ensure that once he/she is in office they act in the 'best' interest of the corporate donors. 2) Look at Bush's 'strategic' withdrawal from the Kyoto Treaty. His largest campaign contributor was oil companies and who gets hurt the most if the Kyoto Treaty is ratified? OIL COMPANIES!
Scary! John Howard, (our PM), has a lack lustre approach to environmental reform too. Heard today that we are way over what we should be for emmission levels. And growing not reducing of course! He's gotta be making the bucks through this somehow.
