    the money seems to almost entirely be injected into the system from special/corporate interests, not regular old voters.

        Not sure how to do this, but I'm thinking that foreign funding DC is a big deal but is almost completely ignored. Agree?

        By third parties, I imagine legal entities that make the funding indirect. What of value is being returned for the funds?

        That would eliminate the unions, the single most corrosive money in politics, I believe.

        Swell idea. How about the "Conflict of Interest Act" No entity or person having business with Gov may fund

        Way too much money in politics. Keeps good people out and elevates the corrupt ones.

        Why would anyone who doesn't have a special interest spend money on politics?

        The only way to remove money from politics is to shrink the gov't to the point where they do not control everyone's life.

        Fewer regulations = less lobbying.

        Regulations on business invite lobbying to mitigate or tailor regulations. Or for regs to hobble competitors. 1/2

        This is the reason why so many politicians "somehow" become a lot richer while they are in office.
