    The entire framework of power needs to be reviewed and amendments created to deal with the corrupting influence of money in politics. We should not be where we are.

        That will never happen. The current system is designed to keep the status quo for rich and corporate interests. They will never work against the monied interests that support them. If they do, corporate money will just fund their opponents from both sides of the political spectrum.

        Citizens United and the bast amount of money available to corporations has eroded the power of governments to actually govern.
