This was posted by a group fighting corporate education reform, but it could apply to most issues and any very wealthy individual or large corporation.

They can buy the legislators, dictate the legislation, and if the voters ever vote the corporate puppets out, they will make MORE money working directly for their employer instead of as a legislator.

1. the bottom arrow needs more detail about the profits:

from subsidies, laws and regs that favor one or a handful of companies over others, and most directly, government contracts.

In that last case, corporation is using our taxpayer dollars to bribe politicians to give them more of our taxpayer dollars so they can give them bigger bribes and so on.
