We (non 1 Percenters) can also buy political power. Imagine an institution/fond used only for financing ideas that are in the interest of general population. Financing here means buying political power that would make that happen. Institution would need to be fully democratic (maybe direct democracy) so that people that are involved (invested in fond) have a vote and chose in general how money should be spend. More people involved - higher the chance that bigger part of population would benefit.

The non 1 Percenters are already buying political power. The "1 Percenters", which in my mind means the political/corporate insiders, wanted an election between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton. They're getting Cruz/Trump (not sure who they want least) and are barely going to get Hillary. Either way this US presidential season ends, the Republican 1%'ers will be in shambles, with many networks destroyed and political capital all tapped out. The Democrats might remain okay, but there's a huge well of populism on the left just waiting to boil up and completely overwhelm any amount of advertising dollars, as it did on the right.
