Corruption without Money

Eli,

Not sure if you think this is an appropriate use of power. I don't



Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, moving to take a lead role in the gun control debate, is turning up the pressure on banks that do business with firearms manufacturers. 
Emanuel is sending letters to two major financial institutions, TD Bank and Bank of America, which offer lines of credit to gun makers suggesting that they stop lending money to the manufacturers if they don’t come out for new gun restrictions.

This corruption is a function of a powerful and intrusive government, not money.

Bill
