Exactly. Money will always be power. That's fine. What we need to avoid is the power of "government". (order followers believing in the right of the ruling class to force them to obey and enforce their "laws" and fight their wars and pay taxes with their monopoly money)
The best way to take the money out of politics is to get rid of the politics and focus on individual sovereignty and freedom. Nobody has the right to rule over you. All taxation is theft. The "news" is the propaganda arm of the government and the K-12 is the brainwashing system. Nothing about "government" is good. The only reason for "government" is to legitimize things that would otherwise be deemed illegitimate e.g. robbing your neighbor at gunpoint to pay for the K-12 indoctrination prisons for kids.
You only need POWER to facilitate GREED and disregard for others. You don't need POWER to spread LOVE and PEACE.
"Government" is purely a monopoly over the use of force within a territory. It's a corporate entity. It's not doing anything good for anyone. Everything good comes from the FREE MARKET.
Two kinds of markets... Free Market - the good one. Regulated Market - the shitty one
Anyone who things you can sprinkle some magical fairy dust called "government" on top of a free market and make it work better for the people is an indoctrinated SLAVE pawn of the system and probably thinks their vote matters and their country is the greatest in the world.
