Political spending should not be equated with free speech, and using wealth to influence politics should be seen for what it really is: a tactic to muffle the voice of the people. Campaign contributions should be limited so that no individual has the ability to buy an election. We, the people, deserve to have our voices heard at the same volume, and one's accumulation of wealth should not grant them a megaphone that drowns out those around them into inaudible whispers. In a fiscal year, no one should be able to make a monetary contribution to any candidate or political party that exceeds 10% of the United States of America's median annual household income. We should be striving for equality of influence in the political sphere. Your net worth should not dictate how much your vote is worth.
