“But it’s not just that the amount of money that’s required. What has changed is who has a voice in the process. In 2010, a hugely important decision was made by the Supreme Court in a split decision on the Citizens United case — that Government is unable to place restrictions on how Corporations spend money in general elections. If the importance of money in winning an election was already going up at an exponential rate, then opening the treasuries of one the wealthiest constituencies in the world — America’s corporations — will accelerate that. Capitalism will have the power to dictate the politics of America.”
