摘要
In December 2019,the China Society for Human Rights Studies,a leading Chinese NGO,issued a document Money Politics Exposes the Hypocrisy of"U.S.-Style Democracy"which said the sharp divisions in U.S.politics and society prevent a large number of citizens from participating in political affairs.The main reason for this is money politics,which is depriving people of their democratic rights.This is an edited excerpt from the document:"Money is the mother's milk of politics."This com m ent reveals the essence of contemporary U.S.politics.Money politics runs through all aspects of U.S.elections,legislation and governance,and has become a persistent disease in U.S.society.
