Musician and Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters has issued a strong statement highlighting the dominant role of money in the US political system. He stated that politics in the country is shaped by financial power, not by the will of the people.
According to Waters, the presidency can be obtained through money. US President Donald Trump also resorted to this path with the financial support of lobbyists, oligarchs, and donors.
Waters noted that it is impossible to speak of true democracy in a system where there is an unlimited flow of money into politics. This situation, in his opinion, raises serious questions about the transparency and fairness of political processes.
