    Get money out of politics entirely. Interests of politicians needs to be aligned with the greatest number of people they represent, not companies

      You can’t do that unless you hold power though, and that means not just Congress and the Presidency, but also the courts, since they’ve ruled that money is speech. And getting there means actually kicking in money to help elect candidates willing to make that change. (Or paying in both blood and treasure through a revolution, which is a lot less likely)
