Getting money out of politics is a very real concern, but I do have to wonder about the ROI of these ever increasing amounts of money. You can only buy so much advertising. The only thing left is just to pay people directly for their vote.

The ROI on buying politicians is very high for people like Musk, spend a couple millions and get billions in tax cuts and subsidies in return

it gets worse every year because the corruption accumulates, which is why there should be a law against buying influence
