Sure, money influences politics, but the politicians are still elected by voters, and if voters didn't incentivize short-term planning by re-electing politicians with short-term policies, we'd see more long-term policies.
I think there are at least three partial solutions that need to be pushed simultaneously:
* Reduce the amount of money in politics
* Mechanisms to reduce the impact of the money that remains
* Mechanisms to help voters see through short-term promises
