“That companies have special influence in politics means that democracy is sick. The purpose of democracy is to ensure that the rich do not have an influence commensurate with their wealth. And if they have more influence than you or me, that means that democracy is failing. The laws they obtain in this way have no moral authority, but rather the ability to do harm.” — Richard Stallman
