This is one of the more essential issues of our time.

I would argue that a corporation is nothing more than a collection of 'coerced' individuals, involved strictly for monetary gain, whether from salary, dividends, or other monetary reasons.

An individual, however, cannot be coerced into being that individual. They simply are.

Money in the system undermines the fundamental checks and balances that were laid out by the founding fathers. It skewers motivations and lays impotent vast swaths of our representative democracy.

Until the money is purged from the political system we simply cannot reasonably expect things to get better.

Certainly Genesis's proposal is much better than any other i've heard. I have no objection to money being thrown at air time, signs, etc. But the exclusive access lobbying and propping up of a broken two party system through all means necessary must be brought to an end.

Thank you for providing such an exceptional, intelligent forum for discussion. One cannot put a value on this place.
