Ending Corruption in Politics

Eliminating money from politics is seen as a crucial step toward eradicating systemic corruption. Many believe that the entrenched nature of financial influence leads to an environment where corruption becomes normalized among politicians. By removing these financial incentives, politicians could act more transparently and prioritize the public's interests without the shadow of bribery or influence from wealthy donors. The idea is to restructure the political landscape to ensure that elected officials serve their constituents rather than special interests.
