The authority we grant to the government to make laws that regulate financial markets, currencies, and (you wish) campaign contributions gives them the authority to make bullshit laws sponsored by the RIAA. A public that isn't engaged with the political process because our central bureaucracy is to distant to interact with personally: THAT'S why we have this trash happening today.
Glass-Steagal would only be good because it keeps FDIC-insured money from being used for gambling, which is what securities trading is. One could argue we don't need FDIC insurance, and in fact, we shouldn't have regulation and monopoly of currency by the government.
As far as campaign contribution regulation, it's a violation of free speech to tell me how I can spend my money to talk. I can go on if you really care to know how CFR is a bad idea.
I want this country to "not suck" and respect the freedoms of its citizens. Several simple, yet fundamental things need to change:
-Repeal the 17th amendment
-Our voting system for the legislature
-The scope of federal government needs drastically reduced.
