We should make it a priority to make their money In Politics Is Over-Rated...

If money is the game the 1% want to play, we need to make it a useless endeavor. Now it's money vs. people... I say people have to make the power of money illegitimate. What do they buy? Ads? lies? How much money does it take to make Americans see the triteness in the over flooding ad machine? I think that has already begun. Then what? Buy more politicians? That doesn't quite go over well any more. There's only so much they can spend and have a useful effect.

If money is their game, let's use it against them. We must make their money pure futility. Let them dump it down the toilet for all we're concerned. Make money meaningless and fill that void with reason and human value.
