Sure. But even if we removed the money, there would still be power, tribalism, fame, hatred, and all sorts of -isms to fill in the gaps and corrupt officials and regulations. I am pretty skeptical that empowering officials to regulate money doesn't just result in a new form of corruption.

I'd rather we make the government more focused and responsibilities more specific. We need to remove the incentives for throwing money into politics rather than try to play corruption whack-a-mole.
