The other night, when Stephen Colbert asked me to tell him in ten words or less what should be done to reverse the nation’s savage inequality, I finally found six: Get big money out of politics. If he had asked me for the three most important ways to accomplish this, I would have said (1) a constitutional amendment overturning “Citizen’s United” and establishing that corporations aren’t people, (2) public financing of all general elections (matching $2 of public funding for every $1 from small donors), and (3) disclosure of the person or corporation financing every ad affecting the outcome of an election. Did I leave anything out?
