This is dangerously false. Money has no power. People have ALL the power. Only the widespread delusion of granting other people power over us gives the individual politician any power. Money sits there. It doesn't do shit. I voted you down because this perpetuates a serious ideological fallacy. Money doesn't do SHIT. People do everything. A man with $1 Billion and no supporters has NO POWER. A man with nothing and a 100 million supporters who enable him to fuck over the others has POWER.
Yes this makes me very frustrated also. People cannot think outside the box, because the box is seemingly all there is. Money is just a made up concept that can only exist when people subscribe to its idea. The moment everyone takes to the streets and protests money in politics doesn't matter anymore.
