Robert Jenson wrote an excellent article entitled "How Big Money Eviscerates
the First Amendment." It is available online here:

Democracy and is about empowering "we the people" while corrupt crony
capitalism is about the concentration of money and power. Democracy is only
possible with "economic democracy." Local politics is as corporatist as
state or federal politics.
Divorce campaigns from money and go to IRV and democracy might come to life
again.
