Obviously we've got many problems. But I feel that this is the worst.
Since corporations are viewed as citizens, they can invest an unlimited amount to any political campaign or party. Because the outcome of an election has significant implications for the revenue of a corporation, it is in a corporation's best interest to change the result of the election.
This means that those who can win this battle will tend to make more money, and those who lose will eventually die out. Greater disparity of wealth, greater power for those corporations. Currently we are becoming more and more disparate in our distribution of wealth. I believe this will naturally continue, until political parties are controlled entirely by the wealthiest-of-the-wealthy.
Although I do not believe a disparity in wealth distribution is inherently bad, I do believe that a single voter is losing power, and that the government's role in promoting the overall health of the country is becoming an afterthought.
