Corporate Money == Free Speech

[excalq]

This commit by SCOTUS enshrined an anti-pattern, in which the actions of campaign finance spending are protected as free speech, and given these protections under the 14th amendment, as corporations have been declared "persons" under the law.

To Reproduce

1. Allow billionaires and industry special interest groups to freely fund campaigns with no spending limits.
2. Ensure a system where voters have as few choices as possible (preferably two or fewer per office).
3. Ensure campaigns are extended for as long a duration as possible.
4. Observe the types of laws passed by elected officials, as well as cabinet members and executive decisions. Notice that political focus becomes short-term, with dangerous disregard to long-term issues.

Expected Behavior

1. Political candidates should be selected from a wide variety of the population, and shall be well qualified in matters of leadership.
2. Resulting laws and policies shall maximize medium and long-term benefit to local, national, and global sustainability and prosperity.
3. The process should ensure voters are well informed and provided truthful information from candidates and their supporters.
4. The political process, which operates on a mandate by the people, shall be transparent in all areas, especially in disclosure of funding sources and expenditures.
