The bottom line is that the "people" no longer effect or direct the government at all. If a bunch of people want to donate $25 or $50 each, towards the potential candidate of their choice, how much influence are they getting when corporations can donate $millions to get their way instead?
We need to restart this system...

We need to make the federal government as small as possible. There is no reason for a rational thinking person who knows that the government is corrupt and run by the banks, wall street and big business to want to grow the power of the government. No matter who is the one growing it or if it "is a good idea" at the time.
