re: #284 HappyWarrior

Honestly allowing tons of money in the system makes it more susceptible to corruption. That also goes with why repealing the direction election of senators is an oligarhical sham too.

Repealing the 17th amendment is simply a cost cutting measure. It is cheaper and more certain for oligarchs to bribe state legislatures to select Senators than to go to the trouble of influencing statewide elections.

We have literally been there and done that, and the 17th amendment was passed as a result of the visible abuses of that era.
