Fair enough, you are not being hypocritical. You are pointing out a molehill while mount Vesuvius erupts behind you.
Businessmen donate to campaigns because politicians can affect their businesses. It is legal extortion. If you donate to me I may be able to do something for you...
The only way to get the money out, all the money, the legal and illegal money is to create an atmosphere where politicians dont have that level of influence.
And the only way to do that is take power away from the politicians....
When you vote, you empower the system.
Politicians come and go, the power lives on via the perpetuation of the political system itself.
