they actually did try to address this back in the 1970s with campaign finance laws that limited how much an individual could donate because the feeling was that money was destroying politics and giving individuals undue influence. the burger court almost immediately overturned feca in 1976 by saying that limits on campaign expenditures violated the first amendment and the roberts court in 2010 basically said that pacs/corporations weren't subject to campaign finance rules in citizens united v. fec. the passing of feca in 1974 also led to the creation of pacs and then super pacs as a way to get around campaign finance laws. in short, fuck you if you're not rich.
