8. Repairing the Political-Electoral System
---- That mainly means getting all corporate money OUT of politics completely. One person,.. one vote,.. one contribution of up to $2500 per candidate, per election. I believe that is much more in line with the original Constitutional intent than what we're doing now,.... and frankly, no "good" comes from our present system. Corporate financing, bribes and lobbying control a government of 300 million people, and the results are there for everyone to see. And a few new rules governing the behavior of the political parties and national committees, themselves would be in order. No attaching unrelated "riders" to other large bills. No campaign money crossing state boundaries. And for God's sake, get rid of the "revolving door."
