R.I.P. Howard Beale: There Are No Peoples Or Nations, Only Corporations

Finally, some brainiac in the NY Times has pointed out what I've been grumbling to my peers about for the last myriad years: Political and social progress, as accomplished by a government, is impossible when a fuckton of money is at stake.
Why are politicians legally allowed the influence of corporate campaign funds or private funds, for that matter? Easy solution: Cut off the supply. Make all the contributions illegal. What is the harm here? I have never understood why these jerks need to have such expensive campaigns anyways. THEY ARE RUNNING FOR IMPORTANT POLITICAL OFFICES. I AM SURE MEDIA EXPOSURE WILL BE PROVIDED FOR FREE.
