I want to do something about it, but considering your method requires a Constitutional amendment just as much as my method, let's go for the simpler and more compatible one:

- Only a natural person is a "person" for the purposes of influencing elections, voting on questions placed before the people (including, but not limited to, the election of representatives and Electors to the Electoral College), and when determining the applicability of rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

- Entities created by force of law are not natural persons and the binding together of multiple natural persons to create, run, manage, or dissolve such an entity does not give said entity the status of a natural person.

- The expenditure, or not, of money or the interaction with our economic system is not speech.



That's great. We're not disagreeing. I just happen to think that covers a few holes on the sieve. You won't, with that, rid politics of money; you won't, with just that, restore real power to people.
