I disagree. Wealthy individuals and companies using their money to lobby for their own interests is immoral. Laws should be written on behalf of citizens, not weighted by wealth. Just because this sort of public corruption is business as usual in the US doesn’t make it good. The rest of the world doesn’t want wealthy Americans to have a say in our laws.

Unfortunately a moral and money rarely goes together as many history examples show. Do I understand correct that effectively in a modern economics it's only the US can print money (by Fed)? With that the ruling elite can do whatever needed to prolong its ruling, unfortunately far outside the US borders.

No. Other countries can and do print money. There are other currencies other than the United States dollar.
