The only surprise is how blatant it is now. Politicians and businesses used to at least pretend there was a separation but Trump tossed even that thin veil in the garbage bin.

I mean, not really, no. Citizens United was fourteen years ago. Reagan gutted corporate tax and regulation over four decades ago. Anti-Union politicians have been around for like a century. It was always really obvious.
