What Lawrence Lessig is proposing is not enough. As long as the government has the power to block new technologies and other legitimate new business ideas, there will be incumbents there to bribe them into doing so. Even if you make laws that totally forbid campaign financing. Look at what happened in Germany, the chancellor didn&#x27;t get any money but when he retired, he got a great mysterious job at a Russian oil company:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2005&#x2F;dec&#x2F;13&#x2F;russia.germany" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2005&#x2F;dec&#x2F;13&#x2F;russia.germany</a><p>Give the government unlimited&#x2F;huge power to regulate the market and money will find its way to the politicians in order to influence them, one way or the other. The only way to stop this is not to forbid campaign financing, super PAC or else. No, the only way to stop this is to do something most of us are not willing to do: complete separation of the economy and the State, just like total separation of Church and State was the only way to stop religious persecution, nothing short of total separation of the State and the economy will stop unfair and corrupt driven anti-tech and anti-new businesses laws.
