Dan Carlin in his Common Sense podcast aired the episode [Kickstarting the Revolution](http://www.dancarlin.com/product/common-sense-282-kickstarting-revolution/ http://www.dancarlin.com/product/common-sense-282-kickstarti...) where he suggests that, being that the game is what it is (regarding campaign financing, lobbying and other such means of influencing political outcomes and the use of money), while we may not agree with the game, we should at least, as citizens, play the game. If people have donated over $65 million to get Star Citizen developed, one would imagine the public could easily finance...broader causes. And considering $2.3 million over 5 years is enough to influence lawmakers to continually reject tax code reform, it seems getting something passed would be less costly and a one-time affair. I almost like to imagine a political party or super pac with public causes (you name it) itemized its willing to support, with a donation page for each, taking that money and doing the very same thing corporations do, but effectively on behalf of citizens.
