Senate and Presidential races make House races look quite small. Very few politicians can survive without taking corporate money. Enacting a system of public financing where candidates could only spend certain amounts on their campaign through taxpayer-funded elections would make our government many times more accountable than it is. This seems a small price to pay for regaining control of our democracy. That is enough money to finance all federal elections for more than 1000 years.
Corporate interests run opposite of human interests.
Politicians and economists use the GNP and the stock market to persuade us that the health of corporate America equals the health of you, the recipient of their propaganda. This is far from the truth. Every time someone has a car accident, the GNP goes up. The person may have to buy a new car. Their insurance goes up.
