80 to 1: The Cheap Whores Selling Your Future for Pennies

$100 million in lobbying. $8 billion in war. And we’re still paying for the Coca-Cola.

Put simply, a powerful lobbying group invests around $100 million a year in politics.

Meanwhile, a military campaign has cost between $9 and $16 billion
roughly $8 billion per year.

If you consider this purely as a political return on investment,
that’s an 80-to-1 ratio.

It’s a stunningly profitable deal
for one side.

But as with any transaction,
what benefits the buyer
may come at a much higher cost to the seller.

So here's the question to ruminate on:

Who’s really paying?
Who’s bearing the true cost?
And who’s the sucker in the equation?

Why Are Politicians So Damn Cheap?

They sell themselves for pocket change.

Not only do they not care about the oath they took,
or the promises they made
they’re cheap whores,
willing to suck anybody for a Coca-Cola.

Meanwhile, they’re giving up the house.

And We the People are paying for...

• The House,

• The war,

• And the Coca-Cola.

Author’s Note: This piece is a critique of systemic political corruption and the disproportionate influence of money in policymaking. It targets institutional power structures—state, corporate, and lobbying—not individuals, ethnic groups, or religious communities.

Any resemblance to particular lobbying entities or geopolitical issues reflects publicly available facts and is presented through the lens of civic accountability and free expression. This work condemns greed, impunity, and political betrayal—not identity.

It is a call for transparency, justice, and genuine democratic representation.
