> Why were Robocalls allowed to begin with, Because money. Duh.

  I don’t follow. Companies don’t vote but voters have to answer robocalls.

    Companies vote with their $$$, and are happy to donate to any and all political parties to do their bidding, so a) Unless it's a core part of what differentiates party A from party B, voters won't pay that much attention (compared to other issues), so parties can have the same (lack of) policy that favors the companies, to keep those donations flowing. b) If the parties all have the same policy, there's no-one the voters can vote for to work in their interests on that issue, so they'll vote for whoever they were going to vote for anyway on the other issues.

      This sounds like a problem of having a) made money a core part of politics and b) having a two party system.
