Rather than asking me why political parties are unconstitutional, why
don't you explain why "outsiders" other than our seated public
officials get to dictate a single thing that goes on in this country.
Give it your best shot! — John A. Armistead — Patriot
As has been explained time and time again, people seek to influence because influence can be mandated -- contrary to the Constitution.
Sadly, your effort -- at least what you have shared -- does NOTHING to eliminate this.
Legitimate Government secures everyone's right to life and its corollaries <period>.

(W)e ought to be asking ourselves why corporations and interests groups are willing to give politicians millions of dollars in the first place. Obviously their motives are not altruistic. Simply put, they do it because the stakes are so high. They know government controls virtually every aspect of our economy and our lives, and that they must influence government to protect their interests.
Our federal government, which was intended to operate as a very limited constitutional republic, has instead become a virtually socialist leviathan that redistributes trillions of dollars. We can hardly be surprised when countless special interests fight for the money. The only true solution to the campaign money problem is a return to a proper constitutional government that does not control the economy. Big government and big campaign money go hand in hand.
