Special interest groups spend a lot of money to influence American politics. Case in point: the National Rifle Association. It has a total budget of about $300 million (with membership dues, donations...
from manufacturers and other interests, and grants each contributing about one third of that). In the 2012 election cycle, it used $32 million (around 10% of its budget) for political spending. Here's the breakdown.
