  • Taking money from politics is like taking food from cooking. Not compatible.

    The whole point of politics is power, influence, assignment of scarce resources. I don’t mean this in a bad way, it’s literally what politics is about: you want your government to make laws that influence your community, to collect taxes and use them in a certain way, to regulate certain things the way you’d like. Without those things politics are meaningless.

    Money is just power that you can measure and trade, it will always be part of the equation. Removing money from politics is nonsensical.
