Let's make one thing clear

"It's not that money buys votes," said Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

"But you have a culture in which big money has significant influence. Big money gains you access, access gives you the time to influence people."

The pharmaceutical industry spends more on lobbying ($855 million between 1998 and 2006) than any other industry in the United States, according to the Center for Public Integrity.

Glad to be able to help clear that little misconception up!
