How do you get rid of corporate money in politics? REMOVING POLITICS

I'll restate: the classic monopolies of old arose not because they existed in a market where only they could compete, but because they existed in a regulatory and government context where they could get large, buy out the government, and then use them to wall out competition.

A corporation on its own is a feeble thing. It is 100% dependent on its customers and has a constant stream of competitors snapping at its heels. Look at Blockbuster, that bastard went from #1 in the movie industry to nonexistent and bankrupt within a single decade.

So where is the danger? Our government. They have absolute control over us. They are centralized, and have no competition. Put one corrupt man in office and the entire system has broken because they can be bought. A utility classification is asking for trouble.

>no, you can't become an ISP here because you don't conform to our """""standards""""".
>the end

This is an age old story. From a consumer standpoint, it is easy to see our government and laws as fair and altruistic. That's almost never the case.

Don't let corporate money into politics by not bastardizing the intersection between politics and corporation. You know?
