the reason why money is in politics is because policy can effect money. You have to address the root cause, or else you are just playing whack-a-mole (thought exercise: if PACs were banned, is there a difference between Bezos buying $500M in paid media vs. buying the washington post?)

America needs to go through a revolution of thought, like the one that lead to the 'Separation of Church and State' principle. For many of the same reasons, we need a 'Separation of of Economy and State' movement. Only then will you get money out of politics.

If Economy is separated from the State, what remains?
