Money has become the loudest voice in American politics. That’s a problem.
When campaigns, candidates, and even policy decisions depend on massive donations, the priorities of everyday citizens get drowned out by the interests of the wealthy and powerful.
Here’s the core issue: elected officials are supposed to represent people, not corporations, billionaires, Presidents , or special interest groups. Yet, under our current system, the influence of big money means political access often goes to those who can pay for it. That distorts democracy.
It encourages corruption, discourages qualified leaders who can’t raise huge sums, and erodes public trust in government.
Taking money out of politics doesn’t mean silencing anyone; it means creating a level playing field. It means public financing of campaigns, stricter limits on donations, and transparency so voters can see who’s really funding the messages they hear.
When politicians answer to donors instead of voters, democracy suffers. When we take money out of politics, we give power back to We The People, where it belongs.
