Money will corrupt politics as long as it can influence the outcome of elections. When the country was founded, voters sought out and paid for the information they would need to make voting decisions. This gave sources of that information an incentive to be complete and accurate, and afforded little opportunity to influence elections by spending much money on campaigns. But now voters resist political information, forcing candidates to resort to expensive campaigns to penetrate the attention barriers they erect around themselves. If people want to take the money out of politics, they have to put their own money into politics and make voting decisions in ways that no amount of money can influence.
