If were expressing interest in votes not being bought, we might as well eliminate any king of campaign contributions that don't come directly from the state. The problem as i see it, is that american politics is now doomed to chase the carrot hanging from the stick of big business. If you're going to discuss the faults of the american system you can't do so without mentioning the fact that american democracy is the best money can buy and still pretend to be remotely objective.
I think that the poor mostly abstain from voting nowadays anyway.
