      We had them. USA used to bust up companies and revoke business licenses with regularity

      Unfortunately, we also had “campaign donations” and then we had “corporations are people” and “money is free speech” and after 60 years here we are.

      Our political system can’t be fixed by laws at this point, those receiving all of those “donations” will not willingly legislate their wealth away. Look at them. Pelosi has never turned down a check in her life. McConnell got rich for over FORTY YEARS. and so on
