The way to return democracy to the people is to limit the involvement of money. First step is to repeal “Citizens” United, the law that officially sold the US government to corporations and the wealthy under the guise of Freedom (as usual). Second, organizations (including but not limited to corporations) should be outright banned from political compaign contributions. Organizations aren’t citizens. They can’t vote. They shouldn’t be allowed to pour money into elections.
It’s going to take the boondocks saints taking these people out one by one like Luigi before anything meaningful happens. They only care about their life, let’s remove it from the equation.
It’s not enough to reform campaign finance. We need to destroy the class of people behind this. We need to really wage class war, a class war of annihilation.
We need a national wealth cap. 1000x median household income. Anything more is taxed at 100%.
Let’s start with stopping Billionaires. Once someone gets to $999,999,999 they are awarded a plaque that states something along the lines of “Yay, you won Capitalism (or, frankly, corporatism)” and force them to divest themselves from all companies and stocks etc and live on their ranch in Aspen and live off the almost Billion. Any income that ends up topping their financial worth over a Billion is taxed at 100%

Income isn’t how theyre taxed, but I get your point.
I agree with those ideas too.

People talk about the Harambe timeline, but Citizens United is when the shit started going sideways.
